The Indus University is also recognized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) and placed in five stars category by the Charter Inspection and Evaluation Committee (CIEC) of the Government of Sindh.Indus University is playing a significant role in increasing the literacy rate as well as enhancing the capabilities of the youth to be the future leaders of Pakistan. Nevertheless, the phenomenon of globalization has influenced almost every aspect of life. The factors like burgeoning student population, emphasis on research activities and exposure to the outer world have compelled many scholars and researchers to move across the borders and explore new pathways of knowledge. Therefore, foreign collaborations and international linkages seem to be the best alternative in the prevailing situation. In this regard, Indus University has already signed Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) with Universities of UK, France, Turkey, Iraq, UAE, Iran, Bangladesh, Sudan, Uganda, Jordan and Nigeria.
