The Institute of Business Management (IoBM), formerly known as "CBM" is a private university and business school in Karachi, Pakistan. One of the foremost business schools in the country, IoBM is composed of four colleges, the College of Business Management (CBM), the College of Economics and Social Development (CESD), the College of Computer Science and Information Systems (CCSIS) and the College of Engineering Sciences (CES). Since its inception in 1995, the institute has nurtured and developed thousands of talented youth, turning them into industry leaders in the country as well as overseas.
Several of the academic programs of IoBM have been recognized worldwide. Eduniversal, a Paris-based global ranking and rating agency, adjudged ten of its MBA programs in 2014 amongst the "Top 200 Best Masters" in Central Asian Region and three amongst the "Top 100 Best Masters" in the world. IoBM has also received accolades from the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan, on account of the institute's quality in education. In 2014, the Quality Enhancement ( QEC ) received a 98.5% rating, on account of successful implementation of quality poicies. However, in 2012, IoBM lashed out at HEC stating that HEC misinterpreted data submitted by the institute and that crucial data on teaching, research and quality assurance was not incorporated, resulting in a lower placement of IoBM in the rankings of Pakistan universities.
IoBM started as College of Business Management offering BBA and MBA degrees. Since the inception of CBM, it has grown rapidly.
IoBM is built on a 9 acres (36,000 m2) site.
IoBM has extensive links with North American Universities. Professors from the Universities of Arizona State and Brock have served as Chief Academic Officers of CBM. The present CBM Dean has over 38 years of experience at the State Bank of Pakistan and Dean, CCSIS has over twelve years teaching experience in US and Pakistani universities. IoBM enjoys the support of some of Pakistan's leading companies. IoBM students have gone overseas for higher studies to Harvard, Rutgers, Drexel, New York University, University of Bradford School of Management and other business schools in Europe, USA and Canada.
