Where our graduates go
I am Engr. Muhammad Aamir Aman, a proud alumni of Iqra National University, Peshawar and currently working as a Lecturer and Postgraduate Program Coordinator in the Department of Electrical Engineering at UET Jalozai. I have completed my Bachelor in Electrical Engineering and Masters in Electrical Engineering (Power and Energy Engineering) & PhD from INU. 10 years down the lane it was really a fantastic experience in this University. From the first year till the last, and then in Master's teaching fraternity and management did an exceptional job in grooming me for the corporate life that lies ahead. Apart from all the engineering studies, I also developed several pertinent skills in this institute which will definitely prove its worth in the professional workplace. Big thanks to the faculty of Electrical Engineering and management for providing these opportunities to us. In a nutshell, these 10 years were a perfect concoction of knowledge, growth, humor and emotional intelligence. I would like to thank each and every soul in this institute for shaping us into future warriors.
Currently appointed as a lecturer at a private university & alumni of INU, I feel privileged and lucky to have graduated from the department with a first class degree in electrical engineering. Every class, professor & classmate has contributed to my rich education in the field of Electrical Engineering, not only have I learned valuable skills in field, but I have strengthened my management & marketing skill to brand myself in saturated market of engineers in Pakistan. INU has sparked the fire within me & encouraged me to be shining lights in our troubled world.
