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 Management Excellence Center; well-stocked and up-to-date library for research andete reference; top class facilities for popular and trendy sports including 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 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

Congratulations on joining the IoBM community. Since 1995 we have been engaged in building a Higher Education Institution of which Pakistan can be proud. IoBM has been internationally ranked as one of the two top Business Schools of Pakistan and is now aiming to become a leading Business School of Asia. Thousands of students have graduated from IoBM over the years and now occupy key positions in corporate and public sector institutions, nationally and around the world. Besides Business Education and Training, Applied Research has become one of our core competencies and our Management Excellence Centre (MEC) has developed an active working relationship with major national and multinational businesses for Management Consultancy and Training. We have recently collaborated to establish the Dubai Center of the MEC as a Training and Development Consultancy Hub for the Middle East.

 

While CBM is our flagship College and Business Education our primary forte, we have become Karachi’s first full fledged city university with wide ranging programs in IT, Health Management, Industrial Management, Actuarial Sciences, Media Studies, Environmental Management, Education and Commercial and Professional studies. A major new initiative is the proposed establishment of an Engineering College with its own building and state of the art technological resources. We have recently established a Center for Area and Policy Studies (CAPS) which focuses on promoting linkages between the European Union’s public support programmes and European business in Pakistan. CAPS also continues to promote the work of development of Sindh’s economy which it initiated in 2008.

 

You have come to an Institution the primary concern of which is to foster initiative and entrepreneurial talent in you. Make full use of this unique opportunity to develop competencies that will enable you to make a significant contribution in your professional and personal life.

 

My best wishes & blessings will always be with you.
