It is pertinent over any sector, in any country- overprotection, effectively 'stand alone' (LUMS as an exception) leads to development of captive markets after which an overturn becomes very very challenging! Considering South American countries who suffered a similar fate in the mid latter half of the 20th century and although they have revitalized their engines now, they until recently have faced challenges competing in the world markets against countries from the Asian developing arena, who are enjoying the benefits of being classified as 'first mover'- developing countries. So if change takes too long, it may be equivalent to no change in the measurable future, especially on the global scale even if it improves domestic circumstances slighty. This is because we live in an age where technology is exponentially multiplying and no one will wait for the outsider.

IBA which once had positive influence to the society, today is an institute that abuses its legacy. Graduates from other institutions who are more deserving are deprived of jobs due to the earlier IBA graduates who prefer fresh IBA grads over others. There needs to be an awareness of this dirty tactics practised by IBA, which today has more of a name and less of a quality.
