Abstract: Islami Jamiat Talba has been playing a key role in socializing students across Pakistan. Initially envisioned as (missionary) organization, it however, involved more in campus politics. In the framework of "Group socialization theory" this paper focuses on the systematic training and socialization procedure of IJT affiliated students. It primarily tries to investigate how IJT, as a distinct group, socialize students and make them part of the group? Data was collected through interviews in three different universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The paper argues that, the social interaction of the students and their acquiring of new values and habits from their friends have enormous impacts on their personalities. The socialized members have uniform politico-social values and understanding of political events and issues. IJT transmit specific political norms and values to the students, helps in the transmission of a particular culture and thus creates a subculture of their own within the university campuses.
