LUMS -- Lahore University of mis-Management Sciences being realistic NUST is a military university, its true they are prejudiced. IBA is semi-govt, they have that mentality too. LUMS is another extreme, most grads from LUMS simply dont fit in later. what all of these schools are doing is increasing their intake every year. IBA`s BCS is total unnecessary. LUMS` chsool of social sciences and mathematics is a burden on job market. the only motive of these unis is money making. many programs in these institutes have no scope in this country. LUMS is much better than any other uni as fas as image management is concerned. if its not fruitful today, it will surely be in near future. grads from both IBA n LUMS get good jobs. IBA`s BBAs are far better than LUMS` BScs. and even if someone claims its not so, still theres no point in paying 5 to 6 times more money for same result. no doubt LUMS` MBA prog is kickass. as such there is no competition as yet between the two schools. both have difff job markets. an IBA grad`s strongest competitors are his own batch mates. same goes for LUMS.

apparently IBA is not cutting into to LUMS` job market and LUMS is not doing that to IBA either. whoever wants a worthy job gets is. and even if they sometimes do which i say they dont, theyre not the only two players. think of it, the trade marketing dept head in PTC is a Greenwich grad!! their HR executive is an ex-PAF personnel and their HR manager is a ``dumb blonde`` MBA from NUST. Thats PTC - the BAT group multinational!!

so i dont think its wise to compare unis on the basis of how many ppl share a room in hostel, or how many humanitis courses are being taught, or whether things are handled by students or admin and so on. if a big FMCG multinational hires u, its not because your school has made u the best, its because ur employer doesnt have much choice!!

believe me a preston grad with one year experience in a big bank or MNC is better than all the fresh grads of IBA and LUMS. while hiring ur employer knows that u dont know jack and he has to teach u everything. the only reason its YOU and not anyone else is because IBA, LUMS and NUST sound way sweeter than Preston, Hamdard and Bahria!!

oh and by the way i not from any of the schools mentioned above. my analysis is free from all prejudice.
