IBA Engineering & Computer Science Test 2026 Preparation

The IBA Engineering & Computer Science test is the undergraduate-admissions entry test conducted by the Institute of Business Administration, Karachi — one of Pakistan's most selective business and computing schools. Rather than testing recall of a fixed syllabus, it measures reasoning: 90 MCQs split evenly between English and Mathematics, with a total time of two hours and forty-five minutes. The English section tests reading comprehension, sentence correction, vocabulary, grammar, analogies, and critical reasoning, while the Mathematics section covers arithmetic, algebra, geometry, word problems, data interpretation, and ratios and percentages.

Because the two sections carry equal weight, a lopsided candidate — strong in verbal but weak in quantitative, or the reverse — leaves easy marks on the table. The IBA test rewards clear reasoning under time pressure, so consistent timed practice matters more than last-minute cramming. Parhlai's IBA preparation pairs pattern-matched English and Mathematics MCQs with full-length timed mocks and topic-level analytics, so you walk into the test knowing exactly where your reasoning is fastest and where it slows you down.
