University of Sindh is another large public university in Sindh that students often compare with Iqra University. Iqra University, often written as IU, is a private university in Pakistan recognised by the Higher Education Commission. It was established in Karachi in January 1998 and was chartered by the Government of Sindh.

The main fields are business administration, computing and engineering, health sciences, media sciences, fashion design, psychology, education and law.
