GIKI Pakistan Overall Review

1. Great Campus Life, highly recommended for grooming and exposure. 2. Amazing campus, surrounding in natural mountains and very aesthetic Infrastructure. 3. Education is very good but really tough cause of some policies. 4. A bit expensive than usual universities. 5. Some student policies for students are very strict and can cause a bit trouble for completion of degree. 6. Alumni Network is very extensive and helpful.

Student in 2013

I really enjoyed my time at LCB! I've found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them... etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don't know if you still do a month of sugar work... but that really wasn't necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It's such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The "rumors" I'm getting about the new location are that it's not as good, unfortunately - that i's become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also - there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments - from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.

Environment

As a new institution, ongoing expansion and development remain necessary—especially for facilities, student housing, and research spaces. Visuals show initial campuses but likely still maturing. Being a newly established university brings freshness: newer infrastructure, modern curriculum design, and the energy of expansion .
