ISLAMABAD: The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has advised students seeking admission to private institutions across the country to first verify the accreditation status of their chosen universities and educational institutes on the official HEC website.
Many students enroll in universities without checking whether the institution is officially recognized by the HEC.
As a result, they often end up wasting their parents’ hard-earned money on unaccredited degrees. To protect students from such losses, the HEC has launched this awareness advisory.
The HEC website provides a comprehensive list of all recognized universities and their approved campuses.
In addition, it features a directory of Transnational Education (TNE) programs, through which students can earn degrees from foreign universities while studying locally.
The higher education authority has also published a list of illegal and fake institutions operating across the country.
The HEC has urged prospective students to verify the legal status of any educational institute on its website before applying, noting that this simple step will save them both time and money.
To make the verification process quick and accessible, the HEC has introduced scannable QR codes that link directly to information on recognized universities, TNE programs, and fake institutions.
