During the visit, BTEVTA Managing Dir­ect­or Tariq Javed Mengal briefed Mr Umrani on the programme’s application process and the measures in place to ensure merit-based selections.

He highlighted the overwhelming response from applicants and the rigorous selection procedures to maintain transparency and fairness.

Mr Umrani commended BTEVTA and emphasised the importance of maintaining transparency throughout the selection process.
