Students panic as HEC’s degree verification system malfunctions

The Higher Education Commission’s (HEC) degree verification system in Lahore has been faulty since the past 10 days.

According to HEC sources, the malfunction has resulted in the suspension of degree verification for hundreds of students, causing serious issues for those intending to pursue higher education abroad.

Students have expressed frustration over their futile visits to the HEC office and lack of response. Despite submitting online applications, they have yet to receive the issued challans.

In response, the HEC administration has indicated that the system’s malfunction originated in Islamabad. They have stated that once the system is repaired, students will receive their challans and appointment dates.
