From the Chancellor

IoBM has come of age. There are pertinent reasons why this Institute has been awarded the top category status by the Higher Education Commission, Government of Pakistan, rated at the zenith of rankings of the Sindh Charter Inspection and Evaluation Committee and distinguished among the leading business schools of the world by the internationally accredited and valued Eduniversal organization.

 

The secret of IoBM’s success is no secret. It is a blend of students’ perseverance, faculty guidance and management’s leadership inspiration. The net result is that IoBM alumni are placed in notable positions in leading national and multinational organizations. It is heartening to note that both IoBM students and alumni have earned a good name for themselves, their institution, their family and their country both here and abroad through academic, extra-curricular, career and professional excellence.

 

In fact, the grace of the brand called IoBM is reflected in its purpose-built campus with well-equipped labs and classrooms; current and contemporary IT facilities; state-of the-art auditorium, conference rooms and Business Support Center; well-stocked and up-to-date library for research and reference; top class facilities for popular and trendy sports with an invigorating gymnasium, a modern squash court and a bustling Student Activity Center with a modern cafeteria. 

Spacious walkways and smooth drive ways, with IoBM graceful administration, academic and maintenance buildings and a  bustling Students Activity Center in the background are compelling reasons for a re-visit. In the backdrop of the overwhelming ambiance and infrastructure are the emotional maturity, seriousness of purpose and perceptive thinking of persevering students and guiding faculty towards IoBM academic excellence and public image.

 

IoBM’s credibility, with accredited programs in business management and allied disciplines, lies in its students’ career focused activities aimed at confidence and career building and inculcating in them the spirit to care for and share mutual rewards. The turning point in its students’ creativity and confidence is that they themselves plan, organize and promote seminars, workshops, debates, exhibits, presentations and special occasions of national and international importance.  That is why IoBM is a brand and a hallmark of reputation and credibility in the corporate sector.

 

The welcome to new entrants of the IoBM family is much more than a traditional gesture. They are welcomed with the trust of truly exploring and benefiting from IoBM’s opportunities, being assets for their families and for the Institute. There is no alternative to punctuality, regularity and discipline in attendance, studies and revision and, of course, respect for parents and teachers, so instrumental towards academic and career excellence. May you thrive in your study and career pursuits. Ameen.

Welcome to the IoBM

The sixteenth year of Institute of Business Management brings with it the promise of myriad opportunities and endless prospects of a dynamic and resourceful leadership for the country. Looking back at its first fifteen years, we realize that IoBM has come a long way in such a short time to see itself where it stands today. But its voyage does not stop here as it pledges to forge ahead and mark its upcoming years with an absolute commitment to your success. 

 

We train our students to rise to the challenges placed in front of them by the ever changing global scenario and provide them learning experiences that last a lifetime. The faculty at IoBM are at the cutting edge of professionalism in their respective disciplines. Research has always been at the heart of IoBM. Our research journal,  in its twelfth year of continuous publication, is indexed and abstracted by the American Economic Association and recognized by the Higher Education Commission. IoBM’s quality assurance system ensures that our teaching and research conforms to the highest academic standards.

 

Our vibrant academic programs tailored to suit the market are an example of how we are approaching the increasing demands of higher education. We offer all mainstream degrees in the business studies area and continue to introduce programs in various disciplines, such as engineering, economics, actuarial sciences, education, commerce, environment, energy and policy studies.

 

IoBM’s active networking with the corporate sector helps connect its graduates to promising careers. All prominent multinational and national companies employ our graduates and participate in our internship programs.  Representatives of the Karachi Stock Exchange, the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry and several banks are on our Board of Governors and other statutory bodies.

 

Profit making has never been and shall never be the motive and the driving force of IoBM.  What  drives the Institute is its exemplary commitment to a life of learning for the IoBM community in particular, and the nation in general. It is with this spirit of commitment that we feel it is more important than ever to continue our efforts to help our students excel as leaders of tomorrow.

 

Choosing a university is a tough, yet momentous, decision for your future. To quote Julian Huxley, “university education is a route to enlightenment”. Passing through these portals should enable you to become what Aristotle rightly called “a whole man”. At such an important milestone of your life we welcome you to IoBM, look forward to helping you achieve your goals and wish each one of you continued success.

 

My best wishes & blessings will always be with you.
