Centralised Admission Policy (CAP) admission lists
CAP issues admission lists
Karachi, Sep 05, 2008: The Centralised Admission Policy (CAP) on Thursday issued the
admission lists for two major faculties of HSC Part-I, including Home Economics
Group and Computer Science (male and female), belonging to 25 colleges of the
metropolis.
The numbers of admissions in the faculty of Home Economics are
being declined day by day as only 434 admissions were given this year, which
considerably low than the last year when 534 admissions had been offered in the
city on the same account. CAP will start receiving claims forms from September
10, 2008," said D G Colleges Dr Rafiq Ahmed Siddiqui on Thursday, while speaking
at a press conference held at PECHS Government Girls College.
He observed
that there was a dominant inclination in the students to have admissions in the
faculty of computer science. He said, "This year nearly 84,000 admissions are
being given to six faculties of nearly 123 colleges. Such faculties include
Science (Pre-Engineering), Science (Pre-Medical), General Science (Computer),
Commerce, Humanities (Arts) and Home Economics which is offered to the female
students only.
To a query, he said that millions of rupees were being spent
to run the admissions-related activities under the CAP. It is pertinent to
mention here that CAP has already separated around 38 higher secondary schools
of the metropolis from CAP on the demands of former EDO Fakhar Karim and DO
Iqbal.
434 application forms were received for admissions to the faculty of
home economics on the available seats of 600, and all 434 candidates have been
given admissions to Rana Liaquat Ali Khan Govt College of Home & Economics
Karachi. The admissions to said faculty and college were started from 772 marks
and closed at 362 total marks (43 percent). Conversely, CAP has given admission
to the faculty of computer science in 11 colleges of the city to 5,74 female
candidates, having 106 A-One grades, 347 A grades, 120 B grades and 1 C grades.
However a total of 1108 application forms were received on the same account. The
admissions were commenced from 759 marks and closed at 504 marks (59 per cent).
However, around 51 candidates were admitted to Abdullah Government College for
Women , 52 to Government College for Women Nazimabad , 100 to Sir Syed
Government College for Women, 51 to APWA Government College for Women, 25 to
Government Girls College Zam Zama, 40 to Government College for Women, 50 to
Government Degree Science College Malir Cantt, 52 to St. Lawrance Government
Girls College, 53 to Government BAMM PECHS College for Women, 50 Government
Degree College Stadium Road and 50 candidates and 50 students facilitated at
Government Degree Science & Commerce College.
To get admission in the
faculty of computer science, a total of 1210 male candidates submitted their
application forms to CAP out of which 827 candidates have been offered
admissions to nearly 13 colleges of the megalopolis. The admission were given to
47 A-One grade holders, 274 A grade holders, 312 B grade possessors and 180 C
grade holders. The admission was started from 740 marks and closed at 372 marks
(43 per cent).
A total of 61 candidates have been offered admissions to
Islamia Government Science College, while 60 to Government Degree College
Gulshan-e-Iqbal, 60 to Government National College (Morning), 111 to Government
Jamia Millia Degree College (Morning), 60 to Government Superior Science College
(Morning), 60 to Govt. Degree Science & Commerce College (Morning), 60 to

NED experts argue green slime will cut import bill
Karachi: NED University Department of
Environmental Engineering Engineer Mehmood Ali and Dr Mohammed Harun have argued
that Pakistan's import bill can be reduced by Rs 69.5 billion (US $1.037
billion) if only bio diesel produced from non-edible raw materials is used in
the transportation sector.
The engineers said that Pakistan has enough natural energy sources and willing
scientists and experts to overcome the fuel and power crises but it is a lack of
government interest and support that is a major obstacle. Pakistan consumes
around 10 million tons of diesel per year, with a monthly consumption coming to
around 667,000 tons.
"Bio diesel is a pollution-free energy source that
can be produced from vegetable oils," said Ali. Programs to harness alternative
renewable energy sources are the need of the hour and the government of Pakistan
has announced one such program will start from 2015.
The price of
mineral diesel in Pakistan is US$ 0.89 per liter (Rs 64.73 per liter) and the
price of bio diesel in the US is around US$ 1.44 per liter. "Therefore, bio
diesel production can also have major economic benefits for us," he argued,
"especially given the fact that it can be obtained from non-edible crops that
can grow on marginal land, in saline water or in wastewater ponds."
Pakistan State Oil (PSO) has already planted Jatropha plants near
Karachi for bio diesel production. Ali informed that the high prices
of bio diesel in the US are due to the fact that they use edible crops, such as
corn, for bio diesel production. "Algae is perfect for bio diesel production, as
its land requirement is minimal compared to other oil-yielding crops. Plus,
algae can produce up to 30 times more oil than ordinary oil seeds and there are
a number of algae species which are suitable to our climatic conditions," said
Dr Harun.
Algae production would not put an additional strain on
freshwater reserves needed for domestic, industrial and agricultural uses.
Moreover, that algae cultivation would have multiple benefits, as apart from
boosting bio diesel production, algae also reduces pollution from the
atmosphere. In addition, glycerin, which has a market price of Rs 170 per liter,
is a by-product of bio diesel production.
Ali added that the Pakistan
Council of Scientific and Industrial research (PCSIR) was undertaking a research
project to determine the feasibility of growing algae in saline water and
wastewater ponds. "By using wastewater as a nutrient source, these farms would
essentially provide a means of recycling nutrients from fertilizer to food to
waste and back to fertilizer. The castor oil yield is 1,413 liters per hectare,
while the oil yield from algae is 10,000 liters per hectare," Harun
added.
The advantages of algal growth include higher oil yield,
cultivation in saline and wastewater ponds, a ready source of biomass for the
production of heat energy, transformation of methane through alga culture grown
material and the production of biological hydrogen for use in fuel cells. "The
direct advantages to Pakistan include a pollution-free and greener Pakistan,
employment for farmers and labourers and a reduction in fossil fuel import.
Plus, foreign exchange savings will be increased and local petroleum companies
will also receive a welcome boost," said Harun.
Recent studies suggest
that algae are capable of yielding 30 times more oil per acre than the crops
currently used in bio diesel production. "Algae can produce 5,000 to 20,000
gallons of oil per acre per year, which is far more than palm oil, which yields
a paltry 635 gallons despite being one of the best crops for bio diesel
production," said Ali, adding that since it is edible, palm oil cannot be used
as a raw material for bio diesel.
The experts added that algae could
also be economically converted into solid fuels, methane gas or bio-ethanol. It
can also be used to generate electricity and can also be grown on liquid human
sewage and on streams polluted by fertilizer run off, greatly reducing
pollution. Daily Times
