IBA's admission process is a source of tremendous pride
for IBA. Being among many of IBA’s strengths, the
admission process is said to have stood the test of
time. From filtering down thousands of aspirants to mere
hundreds through the aptitude test, the process then
subjects the candidates to group discussions and
interview. Since 2012, IBA has tried to actively engage
Alumni in helping IBA find the right candidate.

Thank you for inviting me. It was truly a treat and an
honor to be on the opposite side of the seat of the
student interview.
My feedback is that the weightage of the interview and
group discussion should be interchanged to bring more
serious tone to the student and panel judgment.
I truly believe this will help IBA further in its
objective to become the number 1 Business School of Asia
and the globe.
Waqas Durrani – Alumnus 2002
It was a pleasure visiting IBA after such a long time,
was happy to actually see the transformation that has
taken place at IBA and how the long term vision of the
institute is translating into reality. It was a
privilege participating in the admission interview
panel, it is a good initiative on the part of IBA to
involve alumni in this process, and it helps expand our
engagement and association with the alma mater.
Personally I would like to continue my participation in
the future as well.
The event was fairly organized; the assessment template
provided was simple and effective in judging the
potential of the candidates. I was very glad to see how
IBA through its brand strength is attracting the
talented youth, and hope that the institute would help
them meet their goals and make them effective managers
and business leaders of the future.
Muhammad Ali Jangda – Alumnus 1984
It was nice visiting IBA yesterday for taking part in
the interview. I liked it but the interviewees were only
3 in my panel. It should have been around 8-10 to make
our participation more efficient.
