Welcome to UMT, a university that is all about transforming innovative ideas into tangible solutions under the mentorship of some of the finest faculty in the region. It is a great time to be at UMT as the University is all set to embark on a new chapter in its 27-year enviable journey of progress and excellence in academic innovation.
We live in an increasingly complex world where the future is unpredictable and the intertwining of market forces and technology has created an unprecedented impact on higher education globally. The future of developing countries is inextricably linked up with the extent to which higher education translates into economic development and valuable human capital in the knowledge era. How universities perform as key drivers for increased research capacity, innovation, scientific and industrial output, and economic competitiveness not only determines the quality of higher education but also paves the way for national prosperity and wellbeing. That is why universities have been recognized as the pivot of knowledge economies and entrepreneurial growth. As such, the future of the world hinges on the capabilities of university students like you and how well prepared you are to contribute to a knowledge-intensive society.
So our priority then is your success, i.e., the success of our students. How do we achieve this? By providing a learning experience that prepares you to meet the challenges of the future. With an outstanding legacy of academic excellence and diversity in academic disciplines that has already established its credentials as a premier General University in Pakistan, UMT has already made its mark on the higher education landscape. Our vision for the future of UMT is to transform the University into a powerhouse of learning and innovation nationally and regionally and strengthen its overall rankings in specific domains.
UMT is a project of the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) Trust. ILM was established in 1990 by leading educationists, professionals, and industrialists to enhance organizational and individual effectiveness. Guided by the noble mission of helping others in actualizing their limitless human potential to its finest shape, ILM sought to respond to the challenges of an information-based economy, globalization, and ever-increasing complexity.
The University of Management and Technology has evolved into a premier institution of higher learning in the country. It is recognized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) as a 'W4' category (highest rank) university. For more than two years, UMT was also at the top as per HEC ranking in General Category (medium-sized) of private sector institutions in Punjab.
UMT – now an independent, not-for-profit, private institution of higher learning – received her degree-granting charter first as the Institute of Management and Technology (IMT) in 2002 through an Act of the Assembly of Punjab. Later, on 16 June 2004, IMT became the University of Management and Technology through the passing of a similar Act by the Punjab Assembly.
All in an incessant attempt to help individuals and organizations discover their God-given potentials to achieve Ultimate Success actualizing the highest standards of efficiency, effectiveness, excellence, equity, trusteeship, and sustainable development of global human society.
