This institution may also be referred to as (English: "Jihad
University") for its emblem.
The flag is a white horizontal background

The logo is a semicircular cogwheel on the
lower part ending with two spikes on each side, with several arches between the
cogwheel and the spikes. Below it, it features the year of establishment in

reads "جهاد" (English: Jihad, or holy war) and below it reads "دانشگاهی"
(University).
