Imperial College of Business Studies(Punjab)

Welcome To ICBS

As a leading business school in Pakistan, the College strives to provide highest quality education in management sciences related disciplines. Excellence in teaching and learning will be rooted in research. We seek to graduate individuals instilled with professional competencies, ethics and social responsibility, preparing them effectively management and leadership roles. The College recognizes service to community as a key element of its mission.

The Imperial College of Business Studies, Lahore (ICBS), was established in 1991 by distinguished academics. The initial development of ICBS was supported by assistance from the University of Hull, UK.

In a short span, ICBS has established a truly enviable reputation for integrity and excellence in higher education. The College offers highly market relevant undergraduate and graduate programs in business administration and related areas. ICBS is actively involved in research and offering short training courses for industry. Major programs in this area include courses for Small Business Finance Corporation (now the SME Bank), First Women Bank, and the Pakistan Television Corporation. The quality of higher education in Pakistan is naturally of a major concern to the College and its sponsors. The pursuit of quality is the raison de’tre of ICBS.

The College is well recognized by the industry in Pakistan and by academic institutions abroad. This is evidenced by outstanding job placement record of ICBS alumni. Our graduates are working for almost all the major employers in Pakistan – particularly the financial institutions. Many are working in the US, UK, and the Middle East.

  • ICBS is one of only thirteen private insitutions in Pakistan selected through an independent evaluation by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) for provision of student scholarships granted by Government of Japan (JICA).
  • ICBS is only one of the few select institutions in Pakistan that are approved by the Citibank where the Bank’s staff can be enrolled and the Citibank reimburses the program fee.

Our students have also excelled at universities abroad, a few are even teaching abroad. All this has been made possible by the unrelenting efforts of our faculty. The College has one of the most qualified groups of faculty members. Almost all the faculty members have foreign academic credentials – and as a group, perhaps there would be few institutions in Pakistan that could match this. ICBS has Academic Advisors comprising faculty in the USA, UK and the Middle East.
And in the past has signed MOUs/Agreements for student exchanges and faculty collaboration with several universities in the USA and UK.

The faculty and staff, and facilities alone are not sufficient determinants of quality – another key input is the quality of its student intake. ICBS has very selective student body. Typically, only about fifty percent of all applicants are accepted for admission. A significant proportion of these students have a first class bachelor’s degree from institutions like the Government College, Lahore and Kinnaird College, Lahore. The students, who are admitted through a rigorous screening process, generally have outstanding schooling and academic background.

ICBS gives liberal financial aid to students on need and merit basis. A large number of scholarships are available for the kin of armed forces and civil servants. Additionally full scholarships have also been established by private donors.

At ICBS excellence in academics is not the sole focus. We instill in our students a deep sense of social responsibility and respect for humanity. ICBS does not only educate and train students, we strive to educate and enlighten in the broadest sense of the word. ICBS has the unique distinction of introducing “Leadership and Community Development” a project undertaken by all its students where they are required to conceive, finance, manage and implement a project of some benefit to the community.

This institution has achieved its objectives and aims as laid out in the Trust Deed clause 3.00.
The emphasis remains on providing quality education services to deserving and the needy students for higher education and maintain highest possible academic standards.

Recognition and Charter:

  • ICBS is chartered by the Government of Punjab as an independent degree-awarding institution, (Imperial College of Business Studies Ordinance, 2002). The College degrees are recognized by the Higher Education Commission and by institutions abroad.
  • ICBS is the first business school in Punjab, public or private to be certified as having quality management systems through ISO 9001:2000
  • ICBS is the member of the International Network of Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE), Dublin.

NASA Launches Students into Orbit

In a 20-foot vertical spin tunnel at the NASA Langley Research Center, aerospace technologist Steve Riddick tests free-flying models of fighter aircraft, transport vehicles and capsule vehicles to see how they perform under different conditions. “It’s one of the better places to give a tour because there’s a lot of visual stimulation with that tunnel,” Riddick said. “You get to actually see something going on, as opposed to some computer collecting data.” And that’s what STEM is all about. As the United States focuses more on these academic subjects, NASA is on a mission to engage students, educators and families in STEM fields, as well as to strengthen the future workforce of the organization and the nation. Almost half of NASA’s current workforce consists of baby boomers, and by the end of fiscal year 2010, more than 20 percent of the organization’s workers will be eligible to retire, according to a 2008 presentation by Toni Dawsey, assistant administrator for human capital manage

Grant Attracts Minorities to STEM Fields

The University of Texas at El Paso has received a five-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for nearly $2.9 million. The “Science for a Sustainable Future: Developing the Next Generation of Diverse Scientists” award will provide fellowships to minority graduate students in NSF-supported disciplines such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The doctoral students will build their science and teaching portfolios and bring their leading research findings into K-12 learning settings in an effort to inspire the next generation of scientists. The fellows will serve as a STEM resource for El Paso’s Early College High School (ECHS) science teachers and as mentors for the students, helping them build practical understandings of science. “This success in securing federal funding from the National Science Foundation is a good example of the quality of competitive proposals UTEP faculty generate, integrating education and research benefiting our students an
