8.2 Brief History
UMT is a project of the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) Trust,
established in 1990. ILM became an independent degree-awarding institution
following the grant of charter in 2002 through an Act of the Provincial Assembly
of the Punjab, the largest provincial legislature of Pakistan. After the award of
charter, it was first named Institute of Management and Technology, however, on
June 16, 2004, IMT was renamed the University of Management and Technology
through the passing of a similar Act by the Punjab Assembly.

Message by the Founder

Why shouldn't you be great? Even better? Why are you not great? How can you be
great? Almost all humans can easily claim to be good, but only a few dream of
becoming great, and very few actually achieve true greatness. Why? The greatest
loss that can happen to a person is the lack of ambition to become great. That is
human potential gone unchecked, unharnessed. Then comes the loss of those who
become casualties in search of greatness. This is different from failure on the road
to become great which turns into only another learning opportunity, Imagine how
great a human being can be? How noble and valuable a human being can be? How
purposeful and productive? How creative and useful? How unique and beautiful?
How trustworthy and sincere? How crystalline and logical? How passionate and
awesome? The University of Management and Technology is here to help you to
become great, truly exceptional. The resource persons act first as learners and then
let the participants turn into their leaders. There are many good institutions around.
Trace the road of the one that can launch you to the orbit of greatness. The one
interested in you developing as a whole, a full person, capable of submerging the
macrocosm in the microcosm of the self, and defining excellence and refining
attributes to the extent that they mirror the pleasure, love, and blessing of Allah.
Select an institution that will help you reform your attitude, enlighten your indset,
build your knowledge, develop your application, refine your character, and sharpen
your practice. You walk in with the power of intention. You go out with the
portfolio of all that it takes to achieve success here and the ultimate success in the
hereafter. Beyond the degree, what determines your future is your invaluable
treasure of self-image, enriched and enlightened, driven to life-long learning. Your
future is your family's future, your nation's future, your Ummah's future, and your
world's future. Infinite possibilities and endless vistas at UMT draw your attention
to your own selves and demand that you give to yourself what it deserves the most.
Greatness. Help us make you great!
