HEC Doesn’t Recognize Degrees of These 145 Illegal Universities in Pakistan

In a significant move to safeguard the quality and authenticity of higher education in Pakistan, the Higher Education Commission (HEC) has unveiled a comprehensive list of illegal and fake educational institutions operating within the country.

According to the recently released data by the HEC, a staggering number of 95 educational institutions in Punjab have been flagged as illegal and fake universities and colleges.

Moving on to Sindh, the HEC has declared 34 universities and colleges in the province as illegal and fake.

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 11 educational institutions have also faced the brunt of the HEC’s scrutiny.

Meanwhile, in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), three educational institutions have been identified as fake.

Even the federal capital, Islamabad, has not been immune to this educational malpractice. Two colleges in the city, namely Islamabad Law College and Hurnkadah College of Visual Arts and Performing Arts, have been pronounced as illegal and fake.

Here is a region-wise list of all illegal institutions in the country.
