History

National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) was established in 1991 for promotion of higher scientific education in the country by providing stable and disciplined academic environment coupled with the need-based research, pertinent to industrial requirements. NUST was granted a charter in 1993. Since then, the university has expanded its scope, services, stature and has emerged as a leading comprehensive university in the public sector in the country. To meet the growing demands for skilled human capital in the field of Management Sciences, NUST established an affiliated institute called NUST Institute of Management Sciences (NIMS) in 1999 with an inaugural batch of 97 students. Its mission was to train and educate a class of business leaders who will learn cutting-edge technologies and practical business skills in a broader intellectual and ethical framework to respond to the challenges and opportunities of the ever-changing marketplace. In 2008, NIMS was renamed as NUST Business School (NBS) with the objective to provide relevant and high-quality education in Management Sciences. In Fall 2025, a new academic block was operationalized, significantly expanding the school’s teaching and learning facilities. Since its inception, NBS has emerged as one of the premier business schools of Pakistan and a source of quality human resource for the corporate sector, with current student enrolment of approximately 1,792 and a faculty where around 90% hold PhD degrees.
