what at that time was the Sindh Division of the Bombay presidency in India. That College now is the City Campus of this University and is one of the heritage structures of Karachi; it now accommodates the Architecture Department of this University. When the NED College was first established, it was affiliated to the University of Bombay. After partition of the sub-continent in 1947, the land on which the College stood, having been taken over by the Provincial Education Department, the College itself was managed by its Board of Governors until it was nationalized in 1972. Thereafter, the College was shifted to the location now occupied by the Main Campus, developed with World Bank funding and eventually elevated to University status on 1st March 1977. |

The Institute of Business Administration, Karachi
The IBA was established in 1995 as a USAID - Government of Pakistan project, Initially the Wharton School of Finance, University of Pennsylvania, provided the technical support; later the University of Southern California got the contract. Both the contractors helped set up the first modem business school in the sub-continent out of North America. Several prominent American professors were assigned to the IBA. A large number of Pakistani faculty members received advanced degrees from Wharton and USC. Till 1994, the University of Karachi awarded degrees to IBA graduates and then in that year, the Sindh Assembly elevated the Institute's status to that of a degree-awarding institution. Inspite of a rapid increase in the number of business schools in the country, the IBA has maintained its position as the premier institution of higher learning in the field of business administration.
Distinguishing features of the IBA are the induction of students though a systematic and merit-based admission process, training in a demanding academic environment, and on-time completion of study programs. Admission procedures, curricula, methods of instruction and the system of examinations at the IBA give it a unique position among leading educational institutions in Pakistan.
The vision of IBA is to become a world-class business school for leadership and innovation in management and be counted among the top 50 business schools in Asia. For this, the IBA administration upholds and promotes the core values of merit, truth, integrity, creativity, discipline and tolerance amongst its faculty, students and the administrative staff.
The administration of IBA tries to ensure that no meritorious student be deprived of studying at IBA due to his/her financial constraints.
In this regard it is also satisfying to note and inform that at least three former recipients of the Oxford-Cambridge Society Scholarship now serve in responsible positions at MNG's such as Procter & Gamble, Pak Media Corn (Pvt.) Ltd. and JS Global (Pvt.) Ltd. ; these are - Ms. Mubashira Khalid, Ms. Nida Azam Modan and Ms. Saira Farooq. IBA and the parents of these students stand indebted to Oxford Cambridge Society for their benevolence
