The research conducted through using documentary and survey methods, and its required information is collected through benefiting from note taking and self- made questionnaire tools. Experts and professors’ viewpoints used for approving the validity of tools used and the reliability approved through using Chronbach Alpha coefficient (α=0.92). The data analyzed through benefiting from descriptive-statistics (T Student Test and Friedman Test). None of the aspects in IRIPU, (recognition, education, application, acquisition and knowledge development and retention are not in an ideal situation. There are differences aspect between knowledge management in IRIPU and that of other universities. There is rather a huge gap between knowledge management levels in its sextet dimensions in IRIPU with desirable status. However, at present, IRIPU among knowledge management dimensions has the best and weakest situation in terms of knowledge recognition and knowledge acquisition. Taking into consideration the results of the research, IRIPU should seek reinforcement of the earlier mentioned dimensions through proper planning and interaction with reputable scientific centers.
