Bahria University has introduced a bizarre policy where male and female students are required to sit separately. Girls and boys also can not be in same groups for their projects.

The notice received flak on social media, as people thought the measures were unnecessary.

How are we going to prepare men and women to accept each other at work places? The IQ of this nation is seriously questionable.

The university has not elaborated on the notice.

Earlier this week, the University of Engineering and Technology had passed a similar notice but it was retracted a few hours later due to the backlash received on social media.
