In order to enhance our teaching practices, curriculum and technological competence, Accreditations and Academic Quality Improvement Cell (AAQIC) in collaboration with Dr Hasan Murad School of Management (HSM-UMT) and Jagdish Sheth School of Management (JAGSOM), India organized a two days International Digital Conference on Curriculum 4.0 on March 25-26, 2021.

The conference was joined by the leading academics and experts from all over the world. It served as a great opportunity in promoting peace through education, collaborative research and knowledge exchange. The closing remarks were given by Dr. Farrukh Iqbal, Chairman NBEAC.
