The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has issued an alert for students and parents against the fraud in educational visas of foreign countries, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Tuesday.
According to sources in HEC, “some gangs including people from Sialkot” are involved in this matter, committing fraud in student visa processing.
The fraudulent methods include guaranteed admission, exorbitant fees and false promises of scholarships.
The HEC warned students and their parents to ensure that the university they were applying to was registered with the relevant accrediting body and for the accurate information, contact the concerned educational institutions or embassy.
Further, the education commission urged them to verify any claims about the programmes, scholarships and visa requirements.
