This was a golden chance not only for me but for Zia Ur Rehman each and every student of Balochistan. If I have zhob to sum up this training it made me “more focused, determined and disciplined”. From the moment I entered into IBA up to the end of the orientation program, everything has been so surreal. The facilities, lifestyle, teaching methodologies and other activities for academic as well as personality development have had a great impact. The experience has really changed my life and enabled me to compete everywhere in my future.
