Describe your success in your professional life and achievements
Write your activities and achievement if you were member of any club or society in UMT?
What do you remember about your time in ILM / IMT /UMT?
I have seen the university grow from ILM to IMT and then UMT and from rented campuses in Garden Town to its own purpose built campus in Johar Town. But one thing that has been consistent is good resource persons tough and tough assignments, projects and presentation dead lines. Which enabled us to take pressures in practical life!
