A great experience

I've completed my bachelor's degree in IIUI , and I think it was a great experience for me. Especially professors are really nice a d professional in class. They do their best to give the most relevant information to the students. The department stuff and teachers are kind and friendly. They don't have class issues, they are really helpful. I'd really a great experience with my department which is language and literature. There always had an event such as presentations about great writers , poem sessions which were my favourite. The only issue I have experienced there was with the administration office because documents take really long time and need a strong patient. But rest was good. İf you get chance to study there I'd suggest you to take that chance. Best of luck.

Good University

Quaid-i-Azam University is a very good option for the students of Pakistan. It is the best university of Pakistan. I belong to psychology department and have completed my masters from this university in mid 2020. It is a public university. The university has best Natural sciences department in whole Pakistan. Talking about its professors they are one of the most talented professors of Pakistan. Talking about its international status again being the best university in Pakistan. Many students from Asia and Africa comes to Quaid-i-Azam university. The location of this university is very good as it is present in Islamabad the capital of Pakistan. The university area wise is huge. Talking about its student life its not very good nor very bad either the main problem is religions groups of the university that are the main problem. Accommodation is poor hostels are present but i personally would prefer talking hostel outside of campus. Facilities are present and are good.
