The National Computing Education Accreditation Council (NCEAC) of the HEC has awarded a rating of ‘W’ to the IBA BS(CS) program. This is the highest rating that can be achieved from the four possible ratings of W, X, Y and Z. This was achieved after a rigorous academic audit process conducted by an external panel of experts who visited the IBA Center for Computer Studies in November 2008. The rating is based on the overall quality of the program, including quality of faculty, students, curriculum and facilities offered. The IBA is extremely proud of this landmark achievement which places its Computer Science program at par with the best programs in the country.

The NCEAC is an accreditation authority (http://www.nceac.org/) that has been setup by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan, whose responsibilities include giving appropriate ratings to all computing programs in Pakistan. The NCEAC will periodically evaluate, scrutinize and monitor the standards followed in different Universities, Degree Awarding Institutions and their affiliated colleges offering computing degree programs.

The IBA Faculty of Computer Science offers BS, MS and PhD programs in Computer Science, Information Technology and Software Engineering. In addition research areas offered in the PhD program include Management Information Systems, Operations Research, Artificial Intelligence, Supply Chain Management and Numerical Computing. The Faculty also offers specialization in MIS as part of the BBA and MBA degree programs. For further details please visit: http://www.iba.edu.pk/programs.htm
