My company hires from IBA and, to be honest, the business school was not doing so well just a handful of years ago. However, very recent batches are truly excellent; standards are up again and continue to go up. Our company is seriously re-thinking the hiring policy which used to be: 60% Luminites and 40% IBA and the rest.
Having lived at IBA Hostel, one can safely grant IBA Hostel 'the best hostel' award available in Pakistan, whose facilities are matchless at present. I'm sure anyone who've spent some time there, will surely count it as that period 'most memorable time' of his life.
This has already been inaugurated a while ago
