Begin with the name of Allah, who is very beneficial and great merciful.

In the Holly Quran our beloved Allah says that It is not righteous that you turn your faces towards the East And the west but righteousness is this that one should believe in ALLAH and The last day and the Angels and the Book and the Prophet (PBUH) and giveaway wealth out of the love for him to needy and the way-farer and the Beggars and for the way-farer and the beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up prayer and pay the poor rate; and; the performers of their promise, and the patient in distress and affliction and in time of conflicts these are those who are true (to themselves) and these are they who guard (against evil)

Acknowledgement
No doubt that all praises to almighty Allah who blessed me the desired gratitude and self-control to complete a very challenging task. And that was little bit difficult for us to accomplish the assigned task without the timely suitable and valuable guidance and support of our honorable teachers and also the right direction provided which set the speed for a reasonable report. We are also thanks to the principles and HR managers who share the information of their institutes.

In my opinion there is no problem to launching new degrees in vehari which is relating to commerce Gcc vehari actually affiliate to BZU we firstly try that BZU give permission to launching new degrees which is relating to commerce we launched Bachelor of Economics (BEcon) Master in Accounting, M.B.A, MSC in economics, BSc Double Mathematics. I want to give the example of McDonald when they started its operation in India, then what happened?

Psychographic Segmentation
Our plan is that in the first stage like D.com/ ICOM/DBA we isolate the students who are well participant in class and those who dont participant, afterward we give them education according to their mental level and the boys who dont participant equipped with high confidence before reaching in B.com and BBA level, and in B.com and Bba level we repeat to this process before reaching in M.B.A/M.com. We decided to established a department in Gcc vehari who guide to student after B.com and BBA that in which university that they take admission.
