Your prep for IBA Round 2 2026 starts here

IBA Karachi conducts its Bachelor's Combined Admission Test (BCAT) in two rounds. Round 2 is for applicants to BBA, BS programmes (Economics, Accounting & Finance, Computer Science, Social Sciences) who missed Round 1, didn't qualify, or want a second attempt at improving their score. If your IBA dream is still alive, Round 2 is your shot.

Based on past patterns, IBA Round 2 BCAT is expected on Sunday, 27 July 2026, with registration closing around 10 July 2026. Always confirm exact dates on IBA's official admissions portal before registering — but plan your prep now: every week of focused practice raises your chances meaningfully.

IBA BCAT has three sections: English (vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, sentence correction), Mathematics (arithmetic, algebra, basic geometry, word problems), and Analytical Reasoning (logical deduction, puzzles, sequences, family-tree problems). There is no General Knowledge section. Our crash batch is built around exactly these three.

Round 2 has fewer remaining seats, so the cutoff tends to be slightly higher and the competition more focused. The test format and difficulty are similar to Round 1 — the difference is psychological pressure. A structured prep plan with full-length IBA-style mocks is the single most effective way to neutralise that pressure.

Even 4–6 weeks of focused, structured prep can move your score significantly — provided every session is targeted at IBA's exact pattern. Our crash batch is engineered for that timeline: daily live classes, IBA-style sectional tests, full mocks every weekend, and 1:1 doubt support so you don't waste a single hour.

Maqsad is trusted by 200,000+ Pakistani students. Our IBA Round 2 crash batch is taught by IBA insiders and seasoned BCAT coaches, includes 3,000+ IBA-style MCQs with explanations, weekly full-length mocks with national ranking, and a free Big Book of BCAT delivered to your door. All at a fraction of what offline academies charge.
