University of Lahore (reviews)

I found the IMBB department at the University of Lahore to be very supportive and research focused.
I wrote my MPhil thesis on stem cells and for that I had access to advanced laboratories such as molecular cloning labs, cell culture facilities, and microbial biotechnology labs.
The department is well-recognized in Pakistan and conduct job fairs, collaborations with PFSA for forensic students and collaboration with local industries, including a recent MoU with pharmaceutical partners to promote research (i.e. I needed Resveratrol for my research, got easily through university’s reference).
There’s animal house and animal handler that takes care of Research animals even on holidays.
There are also international collaborations and opportunities to learn about global research trends.
The teachers are qualified, helpful, and encourage student participation in projects and seminars. There’s a wall of ALUMNI for motivation.
Overall, my experience was positive, and IMBB is a great place for students interested in biological sciences.

Honestly, I would rate my field at my university as good, but with clear room for improvement. The strength lies in the knowledgeable faculty and the strong theoretical base we get, which has helped me build a solid understanding of core concepts. However, I feel that practical exposure and research opportunities could be expanded further. More workshops, internships, and hands-on experiences would make the program stronger and prepare us better for real-world challenges. Overall, it’s a good field, but there is space to grow.”

Studying psychology at the University of Lahore has been such a valuable experience for me. I’ve learned not just from books, but also through practical exposure and guidance from some really supportive teachers. The environment pushes you to grow, think critically, and connect theory with real-life applications. It hasn’t always been easy, but it has definitely been worth it for both my academic and personal growth.

It used to be so much better with different activities that are banned now.. guards are ill mannered.
Main concerns are:
We are drenched in sweat all day because they’ve stopped turning on ACs for students, even in cafes. The whole day we are sweating.
If there are 4 lifts they turn only 2 on which take you to specific floors ultimately keep us waiting.
Fines are unfairly charged, without any reason you’ll get fined at the end of semester and that too a lot
Parking registration is a nightmare etc etc etc
OSA management is arrogant.. no one to listen to our issues
Overall making our experience so bad now.
