Iqrar Ahmad Khan started his teaching career from the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. He served as a Vice Chancellor for the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad from 2008 to 2017. He was appointed to this position due to his extensive experience of 31 years in research and development of agriculture, biology and environment. Prior to this appointment in 2008, he had teaching assignments at seven universities, including six foreign universities. In 2009, Iqrar Ahmad Khan expressed his opinion in a newspaper interview stating that during the regime of General
Ayub Khan in the 1960s,
Government of Pakistan heavily invested in agriculture which resulted in a 'green revolution' in Pakistan at that time. He emphasized the need for a similar focus on the Pakistani farmer once again. In the same above interview in 2009, he also was reportedly quoted as saying, "A university has to be a global player. It must prepare students for a global market. We will have to be the role models. We plan to give admission to students after matriculation, which will surely be a revolutionary step. I believe agriculture development and rural development can eradicate poverty." In a 2017 interview to a major Pakistani newspaper, he reportedly said, "It is a matter of grave concern that farmer's son doesn't want to become a farmer due to low profitability, heavy post-harvest losses, marketing and other challenges." ==Positions held==
