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 distance and online academic
programs. AIOU has now turned into the most favorite university of the country
with high international repute. The university made a landmark progress by
ensuring access to quality education for rural areas under-privileged students and
the people of all ages particularly the females can now select and join the
programs of their choice, while sitting at their residence and simultaneously with
continuing their jobs. After assessing the success of many degree programs in Pakistan, AIOU is now going to offer a
variety of range programs for the students residing worldwide. 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 an
unparalleled 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 discipline of educational programmes using their Learning
Management system (LMS) portal support online.
Committed to your bright future

Prof. Dr. Nasir Mahmood
Vice Chancellor

Amendment in re-registration and Re-Appear Policy
It was an approved policy of the AIOU earlier that three Reappear Chances used to be given to the students in the final
term examinations and workshops to those students who either missed their final exam or failed. However, the said
policy was revised and reappear chances in final exams & workshops have been abolished. Due to new policy, adverse
effects on the enrollment of the university have been seen and it also caused distress among students leading to an
increase in Court and Wafaqi Mohlasib Cases in manifold.
Keeping in view the hardships of the students and in order to improve the enrollment AKOJ. it is suggested that: -
At least one reappear chance in final exams may please be approved in favor of those students who either have missed
their Final exams or failed in the final exam with the condition of re-enrollment in that course within the fifteen days of
declaration of final exam results, to appear again in the Final exam component only, from Spring semester 2023
i. Those students who pass the Final Exam component but fail to gain required aggregate marks in the respective
course (s), shall have to re-enroll/re-register in that course and repeat all the components of that course (s).

Assistant Professor professors as visiting faculty.
Ph: 051-9575674 The department is situated in S c i e n c e B l o c k on the main
campus where it occupies the ground floor and a portion of
the lower floor. With the expansion of lab facilities, the
department has extended its academic activities by
launching the BS programme from Spring, 2009. BS
programme is visualized in the new scheme of higher
education as a fundamental step in improving the standard of
graduate and postgraduate studies.
The study programs in chemistry have been developed by the
Faculty according to the guidelines provided by the Higher
Education Commission (HEC). Necessary changes have been
made time to time to suit our students, but without deviating
fundamentally from the principles set by the HEC. The
Committee of Courses of the department comprising
distinguished professors and scientists of the country thoroughly
screened the proposed syllabi.
Chemistry is an experimental science. Students learn basic
techniques in the labs. Therefore, it is essential to provide best lab
facilities to students of various levels. The chemistry department
