Description
The Institute of Business Administration (IBA) is one of the most reputed business universities in Pakistan. Founded in 1955, the university has gradually become one of Pakistan’s leading institutions. Due to a focus on quality education and a limited number of seats, only ~4,000 students get admission out of tens of thousands of applicants each year.
We, at Chaajao (powered by IBAGRADS), have been providing one of the market’s leading entry test preparatory programs and associated material for more than 2 decades. With drastically climbing success rates each year due to our quality-based approach, we enabled 415 students to clear IBA’s entry test in 2022 alone!
