Introduction
The Institute of Business Management Sciences (IBMS) was established in February 2011 by merging the Department of Marketing and Agribusiness (established in 1961), Department of Business Management Sciences (established in 1997) and WTO Cell (established in 2004). IBMS aims at imparting education in the fields of Management, Agribusiness, Marketing, Human Resource Management, Finance and Information Technology. IBMS offers degree programs at undergraduate, post-graduate and doctoral levels and prepares students for managerial positions in public and private sector organizations serving across the globe. 
Admissions are granted to degree programs entirely on merit basis. The success of our programs is not only due to our highly qualified and dedicated faculty but also due to support of UAF (University of Agriculture, Faisalabad) management and other related organizations. We focus on developing the personality and capabilities of our students through personal guidance in combination with presentations and extensive discussions in the classroom. The students are encouraged to interact with the faculty and the executives from the business industry, banks and other related sectors.
We believe that furnishing our students with state of the art training in business management and information technology is the way through which we facilitate them in attaining their career objectives. Focusing on academic and practical research, teamwork and commitment to instill the best, we achieve our objectives along with the intention to serve the society at large. 
IBMS seeks to identify and remove constraints on the student's full participation, so that individuals may explore their capabilities and interests and develop their full intellectual and human potential to face the challenges of professional life. To rejoice discovery and critical thought, we enable our students to generate ideas and free expression. We also encourage our students to participate in extracurricular activities. To this end sports and other social events are organized on regular basis.
