As many as 79 private Universities in the Punjab province have been declared as “ghost” universities by the HEC. These ghost universities are institutes that are registered on paper but have no physical existence. Some even have ghost teachers and students.
An inquiry committee has been set up which will take action against 4 other universities aside from the 79 ghost ones. Federal Higher Education Commission (HEC) has declared over 100 institutes, universities and colleges illegal in the Punjab province.
79 Confirmed Fake, 15 Others To Be Investigated
The previously mentioned 79 ghost universities also issue fake degrees to students. The first phase of the investigation, led by Punjab HEC, found 79 of the total 100 universities were ghost universities. The second phase will have them investigate 15 educational institutes affiliated with universities.
Due to complaints by various students from these so called “educational” institutes, a party of senior vice chancellors has been constituted to investigate 4 private universities in Lahore alone.
These are:
- Lahore Leads University
- Global Institute
- Superior University
- University of South Asia

So are these 4 universities are fake?
From what I can understand only the affiliated colleges of these 4 universities are illegal. The universities itself are not illegal, but the affiliated colleges are.
The Universities mentioned in post are recognized by HEC as per their website. The writer misunderstood.
The unrecognized is their affilated colleges.
Here is the detail from HEC.
1. All Affiliated Colleges with Lahore Leads University, Lahore across Punjab offering undergraduate and postgraduate programs
2. All Affiliated Colleges with Global Institute, Lahore offering undergraduate and postgraduate programs
3. All Affiliated Colleges with Superior College, Lahore across Punjab offering undergraduate and postgraduate programs
4. All Heritage International Colleges (HICs) affiliated with University of South Asia, Lahore
Every one know these are the renowned universities in Lahore. and approved by HEC, Pakistan as well, now the newly created Punjab HEC official secondalized these because of ……………when they got a briefcase the all is legalize as now. Ajab curreption ki ghazab kahani.

how to complain against affiliated college?
They are still recongnized on the HEC website, and still running their programs. If this is case, then what the HEC is waiting for? Why don’t they take any action? So, it’s a real joke and injustice with the future of the students mentioned universities by the HEC.
Where waa the HEC when these institutions were established.
