on the society in the future as it has done in the past. IoBM is following a path of continuing to excel and enhance the quality of services to our students. Education is not merely earning and cashing on degrees. It is that sense of belonging to an institution where one benefits through sincere guidance, quality teaching, requisite facilities, meticulous instruction and caring counseling. IoBM has come of age as it commemorates ten years of its existence in September 2005. Within a decade of its establishment, it has earned A category degree-granting status by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan, has over 2300 students on its rolls and its graduates are holding senior positions in the corporate field. Thus IoBM has attained world-class academic and professional credibility, due to its promising students, worthy and dedicated faculty, meticulous management, concerned parents, sincere friends and well-wishers.

As you peruse IoBM’s tailor-made academic programs, you will discover fresh avenues of purposeful education. Here, career-focused teaching, especially in Business Management, Information Technology, Engineering Management and Health Management lead the way to professional excellence through made-to-measure course outlines and state-of-the-art facilities and time, crisis, conflict and communication skills management. In the offing are such potential programs as MBA in Media Management and Population Welfare.

To broaden students’ career horizons are personality development activities through eight well-guided student societies. Our students continue to earn laurels in debates and declamations, IT exhibitions and conferences, course-focused and practical event management programs and public relations activities. They also excel as interns in national and multinational organizations, which provides them a better placement in the corporate sector after graduation. It is your seriousness of purpose and sheer hard work, blended with discipline and moral values that will bring you cherished rewards. There will also be a contribution from caring parents’ prayers and guidance. As such, you should obey your parents and respect your teachers and elders. I wish you every success in your academic pursuits and hope your stay at the IoBM will be inspiring and intellectually rewarding.
