    The notion that a "major" university would have a grand total of 49 Google hits, many of them its own site, is not encouraging. The University of Lahore, for instance, has 264,000. This advertisement they ran in Pakistan -- Lahore International University Admissions in Nawaiwaqt Newspaper Pakistan on 03 July, 2011| Jobs, Admissions & Tenders Scanned Ads on PaperPk.com -- seems to suggest it is "for girls only."

    How did you learn about them, stunner? From an advertisement? Solicitation? Other?

    Thanks for replying. actually i was searching for a place offering chain supply management,and this came on the net,i just decided to look it up.apparently this university just started last september.the affiliation with lahore college for women is surprising bcoz,according to my knowledge lahore college for women is quite respectable,while lahore international university,which im enquiring about is fairly new.i want to know if this is legit,and i want people to know and stop them from getting an unauthorized degree (if its a fraud).complete waste of money and time.

    Beware - not listed on Pakistan HEC

    Hi

    As you can see here, this university is not listed on the Higher Education Commission, Pakistan site as an authorized degree-granting school.

    HEC Recognized Universities and Degree Awarding Institutions

    Accordingly, I'd suggest you pick another school. Incidentally, Lahore College for Women is legit - it is on the HEC list. Any affiliation probably does not specifically include the authorizing of LIU to offer its own degrees, or the HEC site would list it.
