(QEC) of University of the Punjab on the evaluation of MBE program serves as quality control
bodies’ opinion. Both descriptive and inferential statistics are employed to calculate and compare
the effectiveness level of MBE program as perceived by respondents. The overall effectiveness
level of the program stood at 82.2% as rated by final semester students, 86.4% as rated by alumni,
90.6% as rated by employers in business management field and 90.4% as rated by employers in
