History and Background
Kent College was founded in 1990 by Kent Educational College(KEC), a not-for-profit organization, formed by KENT (the alumni association of Government College of Commerce & Economics) in 1900. The trustees were concerned at the dearth of good educational institutions in the fields of business, science and technology. As its first step, KEC established the Kent Institute of Business Education (KIBE) in 1993 (Now known as “Commecs College”). Three programmes were offered:
- Intermediate Commerce (Affiliated with Board of Intermediate Education Karachi – BIEK)
- B.B.A (Affiliated with IBA Karachi)
- B. Com. (Affiliated with IBA Karachi)
The educational standards were set to conform to the vision of the founders. Encouraged and motivated by the initial success, CET launched the science discipline in the year 2003 and changed the name of the institute to Commecs Institute of Business and Emerging Sciences (CIBES).
In May 2007, CIBES received a charter from Government of Sindh and recognition from Higher Education Commission (HEC) as a Degree Awarding Institute and started its own BBA and MBA degree programmes, at 40-B PECHS. With this status IBA-affiliated programmes were discontinued.
Commecs College at present is running an Intermediate Programme in affiliation with the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK), offering the disciplines of:
- Commerce
- Humanities
- Pre-Engineering
- Pre-Medical
- Computer Science
