Sukkur IBA offers 6 graduate programmes for Spring 2027
The Spring 2027 graduate advertisement lists MS Management Science in three specialisations, MS Computer Science, MS Artificial Intelligence, MS Mathematics, ME Electrical Engineering in Electronics and Communication, and M.Phil Education. The sample paper also lists MS Software Engineering.
| Degree | Programme |
|---|---|
| MS | Management Science: Marketing, Finance or HRM |
| MS | Computer Science |
| MS | Artificial Intelligence |
| MS | Mathematics |
| ME | Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication |
| M.Phil | Education |
MS Software Engineering appears in the sample paper's programme list but not in the advertisement. If you want it, check the announcements page before you apply. The advertisement points to the same page for the eligibility rules of each programme.
The advertisement lists the university's accreditations as AACSB, SAQS, NBEAC, NCEAC, PEC and NACTE. PEC is the Pakistan Engineering Council, and NCEAC is the National Computing Education Accreditation Council, which accredits computing degrees.
You need 50% in NTS GAT, ETS, GRE or SIBAU-GAT
Sukkur IBA admits graduate students only with a test score of at least 50%. Four tests count: NTS GAT-General, HEC's ETS-General, the international GRE-General, or the university's own SIBAU-GAT (GAT-General), which it holds on 12 December 2026.
If you already hold an NTS, ETS or GRE score of 50% or more, you can use it. If you do not, plan to sit SIBAU-GAT on 12 December. A score below 50% on any of these tests does not meet the requirement.
SIBAU-GAT has 100 questions in 120 minutes
Sukkur IBA's Spring 2027 graduate sample paper has 100 multiple choice questions in 120 minutes. Verbal and quantitative sections carry 35 questions each, and analytical reasoning carries 30. Each section is split into fixed topics with a set number of questions.
| Section | Questions | Topics and question count |
|---|---|---|
| Verbal | 35 | Synonyms 5, antonyms 5, prepositions 5, error detection 5, sentence structure 5, reading comprehension 10 |
| Quantitative | 35 | Averages 5, ratio and proportion 5, percentage 4, probability 4, permutation 4, algebra 4, equations 4, inequalities 5 |
| Analytical | 30 | Logical analysis 15, analytical reasoning 15 |
That works out to 1 minute 12 seconds a question. Reading comprehension is the single biggest block, at 10 questions, so practise reading a passage and answering quickly.
