Student life

IoBM has a unique type of Event Organization system as compared to other institutes in Karachi. Here, students of different societies arrange all the events themselves with no professional or financial help from IoBM as IoBM's management believes that its students should be self-dependent & take up tasks themselves which will have a positive impact on their personality development. All the recent events in IoBM such as Fun Week (the last week of a graduating batch), CBMUN (Model United Nation) Jashan e Baharan, the Public talk by Imran Khan had been arranged by the society members themselves.[7]
