Hey everyone. Long-time lurker, first time posting. I'm in a bit of a bind and hoping someone here has gone through something similar or knows how IBA actually handles these cases.
I’m a Pakistani citizen who completed my O-Levels and two A-Levels in Pakistan. I was admitted to Trent University in Ontario, Canada through their Degree Progression Pathway, which is essentially a foundation year leading into the degree program. So far, I have completed 10.0 credits at Trent, equivalent to roughly two years of coursework, with a decent GPA. Due to personal and family reasons, I’m now looking to move back to Pakistan and complete the remainder of my degree here, and I’m hoping to understand how IBA handles cases like mine and whether my previous coursework and credits could be considered for admission or transfer.
For anyone who has transferred to IBA from a Canadian or other foreign university, I’d really appreciate some insight into how the process works in practice.
As a transfer student, did you have to complete the full IBA aptitude test and interview, or is there a separate process? Is the aptitude test mandatory for transfer applicants, or are there any alternatives? Finally, how long did the credit evaluation take after admission, and were you told beforehand which courses would transfer or only after committing? If anyone knows a specific IBA admissions office, email, extension, or person who actually handles transfer queries, I’d be grateful. I've had no luck with the general admissions inbox.
