A product of the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA), Anjum is a graduate from the National Defence University (NDU) and later earned a master's degree from King's College, London , having also studied at the Asia-Pacific Centre for Security Studies , USA, then serving as an instructor at the PMA, at the NDU as well at the Army Staff College .[4]

He served as the Inspector-General of the Frontier Corps in Balochistan from December 2016 to December 2018.[7] [8] [9] insurgency in Balochistan he eventually earned the title of Mohsin-e-Pakistan or benefactor of Pakistan.[6]
He has also served as Corps Commander of the V Corps from December 2020 to October 2021.[10] [11] [12] [13]
DG-ISI
Appointment
At the beginning of October 2021 the Prime Minister's Office formally received three names from the COAS for the appointment of a new Director-General of the ISI , including Lt. Gen. Nadeem Anjum, Lt. Gen. Sarfraz Ali and Lt. Gen. Saqib Malik.[14] [15] [16] [17]
Press conference of October 2022
This marked the first time that the head of the ISI gave a live briefing or even addressed the media.[18]
The pair addressed and tried to answer multiple issues that were taking place at the time, especially regarding Lettergate , Arshad Sharif's death , the failed assassination attempt on former Prime Minister Imran Khan , the military's support of Shahbaz Sharif amidst the alleged involvement of General Bajwa towards Imran Khan's ouster, and Khan's Azadi March 2022 .[19]
Regarding the Lettergate affair, Anjum asserted that during the National Security Committee of Pakistan's meeting on the cypher, Anjum "categorically clarified" that there was "no evidence found" regarding a foreign conspiracy to oust the PTI-led government. However, in National Security Council meeting, cypher was found to be real as presented in the NSC meeting and a strong demarche was issued.[20] [21] [22]
Extension
In September 2023, Anjum's tenure as ISI chief was extended for one year.[23] [24]
Controversies
Appointment
His appointment as Director-General of the ISI attracted controversy, due to the civilian government not being consulted, despite the appointment needing its approval. A deadlock ensued between the civil government and the military, leading to the civil government taking three weeks to approve Anjum’s appointment as Director-General.[25]
Murder of Arshad Sharif
The mother of Arshad Sharif accused senior Pakistani intelligence officers of involvement in the murder, including the then-Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and the head of the ISI, General Nadeem Anjum, for the "targeted, premeditated, planned and calculated murder" of her son.[26] [27]
Vote of no confidence against Imran Khan
Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman alleged that Anjum, influenced the vote of no confidence against Imran Khan .[28] [29]
