On Thursday, 17th April 2025, NUML Mirpur Campus had the privilege of hosting Mr. Chaudhary Muhammad Raza, Director of Siraj Steel, for an insightful guest lecture on "Industry Challenges and Opportunities for Emerging Entrepreneurs."
Addressing students from the Department of Management Sciences, Mr. Raza shared valuable perspectives on the dynamic nature of the industrial sector. He emphasized the abundance of opportunities available for aspiring entrepreneurs in Pakistan's growing industrial landscape. However, he stressed that these opportunities could only be meaningfully pursued through the effective and focused completion of academic degrees.
Encouraging students to bridge the gap between academia and industry, Mr. Raza warmly invited NUML students to join Siraj Steel as interns, assuring that promising and competent individuals would also be considered for permanent roles within the company. His openness to support young talent was greatly appreciated by the faculty and students alike.
Following the session, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between NUML Mirpur Campus and Siraj Steel, marking the beginning of a collaborative relationship. This MoU reflects a mutual commitment to fostering industry-academia linkage, enhancing students' exposure to real-world business practices, and creating future opportunities in research, training, and employment.
