HEC abolishes two-year BA/BSc degree programmes

The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has asked all the public and private universities and their affiliated colleges to abolish two-year BA/BSc degree programmes.
According to a notification issued by the HEC, it will no longer recognize the degrees undertaken after the 2018 academic year.
The HEC called for universities to immediately stop offering these degree programmes following the education commission's decision of phasing out two-year BA/BSc programmes after the academic year 2018.
"It has been noticed with grave concern that these programmes are still being offered by universities/degree awarding institutes (DAIs) and their affiliated colleges," read the notification.
