The rector said, “It is a moment of pride that a large number of our alumni have secured jobs through this platform. NUML holds such events regularly to facilitate its students to learn, adopt and exercise professional skills.”

A student, Mishael Mushtaq said after giving an interview, “this exercise helps students understand different phases of job seeking like drafting your CV and streamlining your theoretical knowledge to convincing communication skills”.

As many as 300 final semester students the MBA, BBA, Engineering, IT and Economics departments appeared for interviews at the various job booths.
