Exciting Update for our Business Graduate Students!

Our brilliant minds from the BBA Class of 2021 had an enriching experience at the Pakistan Stock Exchange this Wednesday (December 13, 2023). In collaboration with Zahid Latif Khan Securities (Pvt) Ltd. and the Center for Executive Development (CED), the visit was an eye-opener into the dynamic world of financial markets.

During the visit, our students were given an in-depth briefing on the inner workings of the Pakistan Stock Exchange. The highlight of the day was a live demonstration of stock trading, where our students got hands-on experience and even explored the PMEX portal.

A heartfelt thank you to the Chairman of ZLK Securities for his unwavering support throughout this educational journey. Your guidance and insights have made this experience truly invaluable.NUST
