Heartiest congratulations to the National Textile University on this remarkable national achievement!

We are immensely proud to announce that two talented NTU students have been awarded among the Top 10 students nationwide for the prestigious Prime Minister’s Youth Excellence Award 2026:

Ms Amna Nadeem – Faisalabad Business School

Ms Maira Shaikh – School of Engineering & Technology NTU

Their selection is a tremendous honour for NTU and a testament to their exceptional talent, dedication, and achievements.

The recognition becomes even more significant considering that nominations were received from 250 universities across Pakistan, with more than 600 approx. students considered through a highly competitive selection process. Among these outstanding candidates, only the Top 10 students were selected for this prestigious Prime Minister’s Excellence Award—and NTU proudly has two students among the national awardees.

The awards were presented on International Youth Day, 12 August 2026, at Jinnah Convention Centre, Islamabad, where the Honourable Prime Minister of Pakistan, Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, also announced the National Youth Employment Policy, reaffirming the government's commitment to creating greater opportunities and empowering Pakistan's youth.

In coordination with the respective NTU departments, the Advisor Students Office, in consultation with the Worthy Rector Prof. Dr. Rashid Masood facilitated the final award nominations with the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme (PMYP). Ms Nadia Shamim, Asst. Director, Student Affairs and Focal Person, NTU Youth Development Centre, was also invited to attend the award ceremony.

Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan, Chairman, Prime Minister’s Youth Programme; Dr. Muhammad Ali Malik, Deputy Secretary; and Syed Waqar Hussain Shah, Project Director, PMYP, appreciated and congratulated NTU on this remarkable achievement.

They acknowledged NTU’s outstanding representation and the exceptional achievement of its students at the national level.

A proud day for Ms Amna Nadeem and Ms Maira Shaikh, for their families, teachers, departments, mentors, and indeed a proud day for the entire NTU community as well.

Congratulations, NTU!
