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
