In a startling revelation, Pakistan’s prestigious educational institution, Government College University (GCU), Lahore, has been found offering programs not approved by the Higher Education Commission’s (HEC) Accreditation Council, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Tuesday.
It has come to light that the university has introduced several such degree programs.
The council has refused to recognize the BS Artificial Intelligence degree that GCU now offers, jeopardizing the future of students who are currently in their third semester.
Additionally, the HEC has also refused to recognize the institution’s BS Information Technology degree. Despite not receiving the council’s approval for its Computer Science program, the university has advertised for fresh admissions in the program.
The HEC has now posted a list on its website of the degree programs offered by GCU that are not certified by it.
While students are deeply concerned about their future, the university’s administration remains silent on the issue.
