National Institute of Business Management (NIBM), recognized by the University Grant Commission (UGC) as a degree awarding institute will soon open its latest study centre in Jaffna widening education opportunities for Jaffna students craving for higher education in the field of Business Management after completion of G.C.E. A/L.

A team of senior officials of the NIBM headed by Director General Dr. A.E. Weerasinghe who was on research tour prior to opening the new branch visited Security Forces Headquarters-Jaffna (SF-J) to educate the military authorities on their intended project. Representing the Commander SF-J, Brigadier General SF-J Brigadier B.C.J.A.F. Rodrigo and Civil Affairs Officer Palaly Major Lal Nanayakkara took part in the discussion held at the Headquarters SF-J Monday (19.07.2010).

Opening of an NIBM branch in Jaffna will satisfy a long-felt educational need through which students could obtain an internationally recognized academic certificate which may drive them for greater employment opportunities here and abroad.

NIBM is affiliated to a number of foreign universities and has been awarding degrees in Business Management, Information Technology and Arts/Interior Design for 40 years. It has branches in Colombo, Kandy, Kurunegala and Galle.

Before the war ended, only a handful of people from elite class in Jaffna, who could afford expensive traveling by sea or air to Colombo, or who had relations in Colombo or abroad had opportunity of following advanced academic courses of this nature.

However, with the opening of the A-9, education and business opportunities began to flow in to benefit thousands of students and businessmen in the peninsula.
