Is Allama Iqbal Open University Recognised? - turithegreat - 01-14-2006
<b>Salam all of you.
Dear brothers and sisters,today my question is that is Allama Iqbal Open University recognised or not.Because many of my friend who are doing ACCA but also doing BBA or B.com or MBA e.t.c.I am doing ACCA but I am also doing B.com(Bachlor of Commerce)from Allama Iqbal Open University.And my future plan is that after B.com(Bachlor of Commerce),i shall do MBA or M.com(Master of Commerce)from Allama Iqbal Open University.But can you people tell me that is there any value of B.com or MBA from Allama Iqbal University just like Punjab University or Peshawer University Or Quaid-e-Azam University e.t.c.
If Allama Iqbal Open University is recognised,then after doing M.com or MBA from Allama Iqbal Open University then can we do jobs in Government areas
Please dear Brothers and Sisters must give me the quick answer of my Question?</b>

AIOU is recognised by the government - HEC as a UNI and thereby all degrees would be recognised for academic as well as job purposes, refer to the following link
http//www.hec.gov.pk/htmls/hei/collunilist.htm
Well market preception is a different thing all together, ofcourse an MBA from AIOU would not fetch similar response from the market when compared to PU or QU
