 Vice-Chancellor’s Message
Dear Student,

Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) is one of the mega universities of the world
and it occupies a unique position in the education sector of Pakistan. Because of its
affordability and high quality of a distance and online academic programs, AIOU
has now turned into the most favourite university of the country with high
international repute. The university made a landmark progress by ensuring access
to quality education rural areas under-privileged students for the people of all ages
particularly the females can now select and join the programs of their choice, while
sitting at their residences and along with continuing their jobs. After assessing the
success of many degree programs in Pakistan, AIOU is now going to offer a range
of programs for the students in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman,
USA and many other countries currently. More than 1.3 million students are getting benefits from the high quality
educational services of AIOU in all regions of the country through more than fifty regional offices of the university. It
offers/suggests many undergraduate and postgraduate programs at rural and remote areas providing a paralleled
opportunity to all the poor and deprived segments of the society at an affordable cost. The university has recently
digitalized all its student-support services for facilitating its students on priority basis. This digitization of the system, it
is hoped, will enable AIOU students to get all kinds of educational programmes using their Learning Management System
