The IBA offered post-graduate programs only for day scholars. In 1957, an evening program in graduate studies was started to cater to the needs of working executives and managers who were interested in furthering their careers through part-time business studies. In 1982, a three-year BBA (Honors) Program was introduced; this was upgraded to a four-year program by the Musharraf administration. The institute's graduate program offering includes executive MBA for banking and financial services professionals, corporate managers, and public sector executives.

A Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degree is aimed at understanding organisational systems and structures and within those structures an MBA imparts problem-solving and leadership skills. It is therefore a useful degree for a career in technical or general management. | |||
The Institute of Business Administration (IBA) was a pioneer in the field of management education when it began its MBA programme in 1955 at Karachi in collaboration with the Wharton School of Business. MBA degrees were highly valued and admission to the IBA, and later also in LUMS, was highly competitive. | |||
