They could not care less about your education

One of the worst universities i have ever been to. It was a huge mistake to study. They cannot even provide the basic facilities. No trees no AC for students in halls. Canteen food may cause food poisoning. In month of june and july it gets unbearable. Their prayer area is a JOKE, designated in second basement in a corner of parking garage where we pray for jummah and you cannot even imagine how bad it gets when 200 people pray together without ac or fans. I have not even started on the staff yet and this is how bad it is. PLEASE whatever you do dont take admission here. My entire degree felt like it was prison camp. They are creating building on top of building but they cannot create a simple garden or masjid. All they want is your money and could not care less about your education.

Extravagantly designed and taught course-framework

Studying at Kinnaird College had been a privilege of a lifetime. Not only you get the best of the teachers on campus but also you will be seated among the most competitive girls from around the country. The administration makes sure to maintain top merit for girls that helps them to become high achievers. Kinnaird has the only campus on Jail Road that reminisced about the British Colonial Rule as was constructed by the Britishers during the Indo-Pak rule. Its historic and beautiful building is accompanied by the coolest contemporary cafes and utilities that make it a perfect combo of amusement and study. Kinnaird is the only college and university for girls offering a Master in Philosophy in International Relations after PU and LUMS. All of the doctorates with remarkable contributions in their subjects help you to become a subject matter expert on IR through their extravagant teaching skills. They will guide you through the generic concepts and will then ask you to make detailed assignments on the allocated topics. These brainstorming exercises will help you demonstrate wider dimensions of the topics given, thereby teachers make discussions on the home assignments in the next class to amplify each student’s opinion. I greatly recommend studying at this University as it not only ticks all the boxes to help girls develop their prospective future but is also great for their personal development.
