HEC Starts Degree Reverification for Over 36,000 Students

The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has decided to review the academic records of 36,931 students who studied at unauthorized campuses. The verification will take place through an independent review process. The decision came during the 46th commission meeting led by HEC Chairman Dr. Niaz Ahmad Akhtar.

After the meeting, the commission announced that an independent committee would recheck student records. The committee will include experts from outside the HEC. It will review cases where student documents were earlier declared complete.

However, the HEC clarified that its role would remain limited to providing secretariat support. Meanwhile, some commission members also submitted dissenting notes over the decision.

The commission further discussed cases of graduates whose degrees had already received HEC attestation. Later, the verification process was suspended after authorities discovered that the students had attended unauthorized campuses.

Now, the newly formed independent committee will review those cases again before the HEC takes any further action. In another major development, the HEC approved key reforms in the degree attestation and equivalence system. The commission decided to end the traditional physical attestation process. Instead, it will introduce a fully digital and evidence-based verification system.

Moreover, the HEC removed the condition requiring students to submit prior or subsequent academic qualifications for degree attestation.
