The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has introduced a new policy that will have implications for students studying in colleges and universities affiliated with the commission. Zia Ul-Qayyum, the Executive Director of HEC, shared a notification outlining the more stringent affiliation policy for public and privately-run colleges across Pakistan.
According to the Affiliation Policy 2024, HEC has emphasized that a university or institution can only establish a link with government or private colleges if they obtain a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the commission. This requirement ensures that the affiliation process adheres to specified standards and regulations.
Additionally, the policy states that currently affiliated colleges and institutes will be subject to desk reviews conducted by HEC to maintain their affiliation status. In line with these regulations, universities have been instructed to enter all necessary information regarding their affiliated colleges into HEC’s official portal.
HEC has warned that disciplinary action will be taken against colleges and universities that violate the affiliation policies. Non-compliance with the regulations may result in the commission refusing to attest to the degrees awarded by the institution.
Under the revised policy, colleges and universities are prohibited from affiliating new programs unless those programs have been running at the university for a minimum of five years. This provision ensures that only established programs are affiliated, promoting quality education and academic stability.
Students seeking information about valid and HEC-registered affiliated colleges can refer to the official HEC website at the following link: https://www.hec.gov.pk/english/universities/pages/recognised.aspx
The new policy introduced by HEC aims to strengthen the affiliation process, ensuring that colleges and universities meet the required standards. By implementing these measures, HEC seeks to enhance the quality of education and protect the interests of students studying in affiliated institutions across Pakistan.
