Engr. Prof. Dr. Athar Mahboob, Vice-Chancellor, the Islamia University of Bahawalpur (IUB) has said that a special academy has been set up in the university for the preparation and coaching of students of the Bahawalpur division through CSS and other competitive exams. In this academy, experts in related subjects provide special lectures and preparatory help to students. This is the best facility for the preparation of competitive examinations in South Punjab and students to benefit and brighten their future. The Vice-Chancellor said that there was no such academy in the area at the public and private levels. Students had to travel to big cities to prepare for competitive exams, which put a financial burden on parents, and students also had to deal with housing and travel problems and could not prepare properly. University graduates here are second to none in terms of ability and talent and with a little guidance can see better performance. Meanwhile, Shahid Afzal Durrani, Director of Career Counseling and Placement and Head of the Competitive Examination Academy, said that the academy has been set up in the adjoining classrooms of the Amphitheater of the Faculty of Management Science under the direction of the Vice Chancellor. Eminent teachers of Bahawalpur, especially of IUB, have been attached so that they can better prepare the candidates for the CSS and other competitive exams.
