HEC Announces Massive Increase in Degree Attestation Fee

Higher Education Commission (HEC) has increased the degree attestation fee from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 3,000 under its newly launched online attestation system.

The revised fee structure comes as HEC transitions toward a fully digital and paperless degree attestation process across Pakistan. HEC Chairman Niaz Ahmad Akhtar confirmed the increase and said part of the fee collected from applicants would be transferred to universities for document verification services.

According to the chairman, the new online system allows students to submit attestation applications digitally without physically visiting HEC offices or sending original academic documents through courier services.

Dr Akhtar said the revised system would reduce travel and accommodation expenses previously faced by students, particularly those coming from remote areas.

He added that applicants earlier had to separately pay for university verification, photocopies, transport, and accommodation before completing the attestation process. Under the new mechanism, HEC said applicants can now complete the entire process online while receiving digitally verifiable e attestation certificates.

  • what an achievement, now we have to pay more because they are using technology but not commonsense.

  • What a joke! Shifting to modern technology should result in cost-effective solutions rather than being expensive and creating anger.

  • Why attestation is increased the HEC chief should be terminated,he is not fit for job he should not charge anything for attestation as
    the common man who needs attestation it is his right to get it without fees

    • Jahil log will decide who is fit for his role, Dr Niaz Ahmed is a professionally fit for his role according to his experience, just check his background he is much better than other HEC chairmens.

      • Chairmens? 😅
        This is why we need a better educational system that either teaches us basic English, or make us enough confident to speak our national language.

        • 1 Mistake & ur Judging some1 u dont even know!
          Thts why U need a JOB & stop thinking about others GTFO UNC!
          😂😂

      • Why we need to check the background of "chairmens" as the process speaks itself.
        The digital process ideally reduce the fee if it is properly streamlined.

  • I'll happily pay this because this new system is a convenience. Also since it's a one time fee.

  • All of a sudden 300 % increase. We are living in a country ruled by thieves. Allah gharat kar dey in zalimon ko

  • Getting rid of longer queues and no physical submission or collection required, a big relief.
    Its a positive much needed initiative. A welcome change by HEC leadership. Hoping Dr Niaz Sb will make positive impact as in PEC, PU, QAU, NTU, UET. All the best.
