This accomplishment represents a significant moment for both the institution and Pakistan, highlighting the country’s rising presence in global academic and diplomatic forums.
HMUN Dubai, organised under the auspices of Harvard University, is widely regarded as one of the most competitive Model United Nations conferences in the world, bringing together top-performing students from across the globe.

In addition to the overall delegation award, Nixor College students earned multiple individual distinctions, including Best Delegate (BD), Outstanding Delegate (OD), Honourable Mention (HM), and Diplomatic Commendations. These honours reflect the delegation’s rigorous preparation, strategic diplomacy, and strong command of international relations and public speaking.
The delegation was coached by Rohaan Arshad, whose mentorship and strategic guidance were instrumental in shaping the team’s performance. Student leadership was provided by delegation captains Armaan Narsi, Basim Salman, and Maryam Ali, whose coordination and dedication played a crucial role in maintaining excellence across committees.
The full delegation included Armaan Narsi, Basim Salman, Maryam Ali, Asal Khan, Maah Bibi Baloch, Umair Mahesar, Laksh Kumar, Xeyna Khan, Aveen Haroon, Zaraan Shah, Daaim Imad Riaz, Shaheer Junejo, and Shaheer Asghar.
The students and coaching staff expressed deep appreciation for the unwavering support of Sir Nadeem Ghani, Dean of Nixor College, and Areej, ECA Head Coach, whose leadership and administrative backing created an environment where such achievement was possible.
This victory at HMUN Dubai underscores Nixor College’s commitment to academic excellence, leadership development, and global engagement. More importantly, it stands as a proud moment for Pakistan, showcasing the capability of its youth to compete with—and excel alongside—the best students from around the world in diplomacy, debate, and intellectual discourse.
