On the face of large scale so called educated unemployment in the country, a question may arise as to the outcome of study by the students who have received financial assistance, since many of them come from a socially disadvantaged strata of the society. Nearly 40% of the financial assistance recipients have completed their studies, while 35% are continuing their studies at IUBAT. Nearly 25% discontinued study at IUBAT, some of whom continued study in other institutions. An informal survey indicated the following status of all those who completed the program.

Information available on those who discontinued at IUBAT for different reasons such as academic challenge and English language as medium of instruction; have completed their studies from other institutions or found satisfactory employment on the basis of education received at IUBAT.

Thus, the financial assistance program not only opened the door for many but also directly contributed to their social mobility, gained respect for professional education in the community and brought satisfaction to the individual and family. In this process, KBAD is laying the foundation of a knowledge based society on a limited scale.
