Of the private universities, only a handful, IUEA among them, have been chartered.For any private university, getting a charter means that the institution has sufficiently demonstrated its ability to provide an environment that supports and nurtures quality education. Over the years, IUEA has consistently demonstrated its academic and technological prowess.
