I would take this opportunity to compliment for NTS Board of Governors, Board of Directors, Academic Committee, Subject Committees, Test Item contributors and Vice chancellors of NTS associated universities and Heads of Associated Professional Organizations in continued development of NTS. I am also thankful to the public and private sector for their support and I wish all individuals a beneficial relationship with NTS.
