Mehbub-ul-Haq Chair

In addition to these departments, IEPE proudly hosts the prestigious Mehbub-ul-Haq Chair. Beyond delivering high-caliber education, we place a high emphasis on character development, grooming, and personal enrichment of our students. We accomplish this through active participation in co-curricular activities organized by various societies.
