Foreword
The Directorate of Advanced Studies and Research
has been playing a vital role in improving the overall
research standards at the Islamia University of
Bahawalpur (IUB). It has strived to create a conducive
environment for research at IUB through its wide
array of proactive initiatives, and this culture shift
in academic ventures is expected to bring about a
meaningful change which will enhance the visibility,
quality, and impact of research at IUB. The Syndicate
in its meeting held on 13th of June, 2024 has approved
rectified/amended rules and regulations for MPhil
and PhD degrees. These rules and regulations aim to
improve the quality and rigor of our research programs,
ensuring that the research output meets the highest Prof. Dr. Naveed Akhter
standards and is suitable for implementation at IUB. The
MPhil and PhD programs of an institute are not merely Vice Chancellor
a process of personal and professional development,
but also are a substantial contribution to the existing
knowledge in specific areas of study. Therefore, it is
crucial that the utmost levels of academic rigor and
honesty during this process are upheld. The rectified/
amended rules and regulations have been meticulously
designed to guarantee that all applicants receive the
requisite assistance and direction while being pushed
to achieve their maximum capabilities. They aim to
maintain the quality and relevance of research outputs,
ensuring that they meet the high global standards
expected of top academic institutions. I strongly urge
all the faculty members, supervisors, and scholars of
IUB to completely familiarize themselves with these
rules and regulations. These guidelines will help us
proceed smoothly in higher studies and guarantee that
the efforts will be acknowledged and appreciated at the
highest levels. I believe that these rectified/amended
rules and regulations will help protect the academic
standards of our institution and increase international
recognition. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to all
those involved in developing and implementing these
rules and regulations.
Together, let us continue to uphold and advance IUB’s
reputation as a leading center of academic and research
excellence.
