I am from the pioneer batch of Masters in English Language and Literature at GIFT University, currently working as an Assistant Professor, Department of English at Punjab University Gujranwala Campus. GIFT University will always hold a very special place in my heart. It not only provided me with a platform to excel in academics but also played a very vital role in providing me the confidence which I never knew I could have in my life. My mentors here, at GIFT, taught me the importance of the relationship of respect and courtesy between teachers and the students. I cherish the memories of the great teachers here and the well-disciplined students that bespoke of the efficient institution. I owe a great deal to my alma mater and pray that it continues with the spirit that it began with. Aameen!

It is a world-class private sector university in Pakistan that has played a significant role in strengthening the national identity, socio-intellectual awareness, and cultural traditions.

Well qualified and experienced faculty, updated library, scholarships, coordination with different institutions and markets, high-speed internet, sports activities, transport facilities, attractive location, easy approach, cafeteria, air-conditioned classrooms, good looking building, arrangements for cleanliness and grassy lawns are adding to its multi-dimensional beauty every moment. 

It is an honor that I have obtained my PhD and MPhil degree from the Department of Islamic Studies of this university.

GIFT University provided me with my life’s golden stairs that I climbed upon. It’s been a special experience for me to be a part of GIFT University. I really enjoyed learning in such a stimulating environment, where teachers work as a team and students are eager to learn. GIFT University is an institute that has cooperative professors, a state-of-the-art infrastructure, laboratories pertaining to latest technologies and clean vast campus with a large cafeteria that serves very hygienic food. It gives me a great pleasure to say with pride that I have completed my BS Home Economics (Interior Design) program from this institute. I would like to thank my teachers, Ms. Hajra Imran, Ms. Nazish Hassan, Sir Tariq, Sir Waleed and all other staff members that have been so supportive during my program.

My time at GIFT University, Gujranwala, will remain with me for the rest of my life. Academically, it provides an environment in which you study alongside leaders in your field, and are given the opportunity to develop skills that will help you pursue your career goals, whatever they are. But GIFT offers more than just an academic education. It is a place where you can learn from those around you can grow as an individual. I am confident that GIFT ensures providing the students with a rewarding university experience. Being in societies has not only helped me learn from various people, it has also increased my sense of respect and worth towards certain people. In fact, it also taught me some real life lessons. Many thanks to our Dean, Sir Asir Ajmal, and our Society Coordinator, Sir Riaz, for always guiding me to do better.

My experience so far is one of pride that I have been able to be a part of GIFT. The dedication and hard work that has been put into my 4 long years so far has allowed me to succeed in many ways, as well as increasing my self-development skills. GIFT University is a great place to study and I would suggest it to anyone hoping looking for quality education. I am stunned with the amount of support I had over the years I was there.
