STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Students’ Societies

Student life at IoBM is not just about presentations, reports, midterms and finals. In fact, there is a whole range of student-organized entertainment and events that take place throughout the year. Students on campus are genuinely interested in cultural vibrancy and a sense of community. In between the busy academic schedule there are seminars, talk shows, guest speakers, fund raiser bake sales, the Event Management class food & fun stalls, CBMUN, the Green Day, Drama festival and so much more. One can never get enough of it.

To cater to the individual student’s choice, there are a number of societies for like minded people such as:

Literary and Public Speaking Society; Finance Society; Mathematics Society; Entrepreneurs Society; Club IT; CBM Society for Health Managers; Egalitarians-Economics Society; Youth Enhancement Society; Enlighterz Society; Industrial Engineering & Management Society; Dialogue Society; Islamic Society; Marketing Society; Strategic & Human Resource Society; Entertainment Plus Society, Vanguard Society and the Sports Society.

Each society is headed by a faculty advisor who is a senior member of the faculty or management and a team of student office bearers.

These societies are diverse in their activities, organizing university-wide forums for students to talk about and debate social, economic, and political issues; organize seminars & workshops where they invite well known personalities from the business, government and corporate world. This provides them with an opportunity to exchange ideas and opinions with market leaders.

Our students participate in various events organized by other universities / institutes locally, as well as, nationally and have won laurels for their Institute. For example, IoBM won first prize amongst all business schools of Pakistan in Unilever Lipton Competition and P&G Business Plan.

Social care is a regular feature of these societies. Every year in the month of Ramzan donations in cash and kind are collected and, along with the Management’s major contribution, distributed to the needy in various hospitals of the city. Among other regular features are blood donation camps put up from time to time

Sports Facilities

Sports play an important role in the development of one’s personality. IoBM’s cricket, football and table tennis teams have performed well in various tournaments and have brought laurels to the Institute. Our cricket team toured South Africa in June, 2006. A billiard room, table tennis, carom and chess room alongwith fully equipped gymnasium are also available for students and faculty. The facility also includes students and faculty lounges, girls common room and a book store. Outdoor Basketball and Volleyball courts have been recently constructed and are now ready for use. A fully air-conditioned Squash Court has also been constructed.

Dining Facilities

The Student Activity Center with fully equipped Dining Hall and Kitchen is in operation since September, 2003 with dining facilities for 300 students, staff and faculty. There is a self serving dining hall which offers hot and cold meals at subsidized rates throughout the day. Lunch and snacks from international fast food chains can be enjoyed in a relaxing and informal atmosphere in the air-conditioned dining hall. It is a place where students get an opportunity to interact not only with their colleagues, but also with faculty on an informal basis.
