Pakistani Student Sets World Record by ‘Finnishing’ Bachelors in Just 1.5 Years

A Pakistani student has registered a world record after completing his three-and-a-half-year bachelor’s degree program in just a one-and-a-half-year period.

According to reports, an overseas Pakistani student, Shahzaib Waheed, completed his scholarship-sponsored undergraduate program at the Kajaani University of Applied Sciences (KAMK), Finland.

His accomplishment has been widely praised on social media, with many individuals hailing him for bringing honor to the country.

It is worth noting that this year has been excellent for Pakistani students because recently, an MBBS graduate, Dr. Waleed Malik, secured 29 gold medals from Ameeruddin Medical College in Lahore.

The Federal Health Minister, Abdul Qadir Patel, also awarded Dr. Waleed with an Rs. 200,000 cheque, in recognition of his achievement.

While describing his academic journey, Dr. Waleed stated that he struggled at first but was able to reverse the tide with the passage of time and consistent hard work. He noted that he experienced several challenges while studying MBBS, but his perseverance paid off in the end.

  • And our universities have set a batch timer for everyone. Even though you probably get it done in 3-3.5 years but they have been directed by HEC to this heard for 4 years

  • What’s the rush Shahzaib??
    You have a plan to cure cancer?
    now go read some books for a couple of years and get mature before attempting another degree.

    • agree completely. A university education is not a race or a sporting event to see who can graduate the fastest. If you have that much intellectual talent, then do a double or triple major but spend your 4 years at Uni and learn the other essential skills (incorrectly defined as soft skills) you will need in navigating the modern world. People, communication, life – building skills, networking are some of the skills you will learn when spending the proper amount of time at Uni.
