Final Year Project

Project Title

Authoritative Structures of Student Life at Habib University and of Council in Ismaili Community

Description

Bureaucratic systems that are functional in Pakistan have a complex structure. Keeping these structures in mind that are followed at the government level in Pakistan, it is worthy to note how different bureaucratic structures at smaller level work and in that, how other aspects such as, volunteerism, education, and social standing play their role in moulding these structures. For the aforementioned purpose, two well-structured bureaucratic systems were analyzed closely and studied in depth. These two systems are the Department of Student Life at Habib University and The Council in Ismaili Community. These two systems were selected on the basis of similarities that were recognized before and during the research. However, the main purpose was to identify how both the systems in place have a set of rules which helps them in working efficiently while being a part of the bureaucracy that cannot be detached from the institutes itself.
