Testimonials by Lahore School GraduatesSaadia Khatoon, Coca Cola Beverages Pakistan Ltd. “I came to Lahore School of Economics from a small city (Abbottabad) with a dream and a vision in my heart. I wanted a Master’s degree from one of Pakistan’s renowned institute (Lahore School of Economics ). I wanted to polish myself enough so that the top employers, the multinationals of Pakistan could hire me. During my time at Lahore School of Economics I increased my knowledge of the management & marketing skills. I also worked along with my studies in Lahore School of Economics ’s Placement office just to polish my skills and make new contacts in this new city (Lahore). I got hired as Management Trainee (KOT) commercial sales in CCBPL that was the time when all my efforts were paid off. The experience and knowledge I gained from Lahore School of Economics has really helped me a lot through my journey to become a successful young professional at one of Pakistan’s leading employer CCBPL”.

Haaris Habib, Entrepreneur - The Daily DeliOne of our professor says: “You all join a university just to get a piece of paper (degree)”“When I joined Lahore School of Economics back in 2009, I never thought these would be the most exciting 5 years of a roller coaster ride!Now after those 5 years I feel lucky to be a part of an institution which throughout those years helped me learn and stand where I am right now!The toughest part throughout my academic career was to get a job after my MBA. I sat in about five final interviews of major companies, after which I was offered a job from two. But I never wanted to do a job in a company which already had its roots well grown. I always wanted to work in a company which was in it’s growing phase. Therefore, I rejected those two offers and joined a smaller company to follow my dreams. At first many criticized me for my decision, but here I would like to thank my placements office, which encouraged me to follow my dreams rather than follow a higher salary. You never know where your luck takes you in life. This is what happened with me. I was associated with an international food chain for about four months, after which I opened a small chain of my own with the name of “The Daily Deli”. Many of you may still not be aware of the name but there is always a right time, which I am still waiting for to come!I came in as a student to get a “piece of paper” but I graduated as a proud entrepreneur. For which I would like to thank all my teachers and especially the ones who guided me personally to achieve what I am today”

Muaz Sheikh, Territory Manager British American Tobacco

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn – Benjamin Franklin

“When I took the start of Bachelors in Lahore School of Economics 6 years ago, I wasn’t sure about myself; my capabilities, strengths or even my fortune and as I sat on the bench wearing the graduation cap at my Graduation day, in my heart I felt not much has changed.

Then over the course of fifth and final year at Lahore School of Economics going through our MBA program, I grew in practicality, self-belief and eagerness for excellence. Today I am a confident person who believes that’s he can compete with anyone from any institution. I credit this change of fortune to the incomparable faculty of Lahore School of Economics MBA for delivering wisdom, wit and experience alongside knowledge and then Lahore School of Economics Placements for their arduous effort in building a striking picture of Lahore School of Economics students in the corporate world. Where I stand today is in large part attributed to the counseling we profusely received from instructors and Placements office all the way from ‘how do we walk’ to ‘what should we talk’. I will always cherish my 5 years in Lahore School of Economics ”

Rabia Zahoor, MTO Finance Fatima Group

“My success story began when after graduating in “Business & Information Technology”, I chose Lahore School of Economics for my MBA program. My university experiences thus had been amazing. I learned and experienced so many new things in such a short period of time, and it had gone by so fast.

My classes and professors were great and I enjoyed being trained by every one of them. The depth and detail of what I learned was far beyond my previous experiences.

Lahore School of Economics always assumes its students as a valuable asset of the university and nation. The university “placement office” frequently organizes “job fairs” at its campus to facilitate graduating students to join national/multinational companies. During my last semester, I attended one of the “job fairs” and was picked up by “Fatima Group” that is one of leading business groups in Pakistan. I am proud to say that of the 11 MTOs selected by the Fatima Group in our batch, 7 were MBA graduates from Lahore School of Economics ”
