Here Is The Real Reason Why Iqra University Was Ranked No.1 By HEC

For years, there’s been a debate on ‘why Iqra University always makes it to the top in HEC rankings?’ – well, we will tell you, it has nothing to do with the campus or any other reason that the elite students from all over Pakistan go on about.

Here’s a list of factual and actual reasons why Iqra University always takes the top spot in rankings.

1. Iqra University has over 50 permanent and relevant PhD faculties in its Business programme alone; which are qualified from USA, UK, Japan and France – these are also the highest number of PhD faculties

There’s always a reason behind any organization or institutes success – Iqra chose the academic way, instead of elitist behavior in the campuses; which many people across Pakistan despise. However, by hook or by crook, Iqra has been making it to the top and nobody can take it away from them.
