UET reserved seats admission in session 2009-10
Private institutions step up drive for admission
Lahore, Sep 02: The University of Engineering and Technology (UET) has
extended the last date till September 5 (Saturday) for admission in
session 2009-10 against reserved seats in the varsity for other
provinces and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) on reciprocal basis. Other
professional institutions have also extended admission date ranging
from Sept 5, 7 and 12. The AJK immigrants can also apply for admission
to Pakistani varsities against their reserved seats. Admission
forms for medical and dental colleges could be submitted by October 7,
engineering and other courses by Sept 12, and for Agriculture
University Faisalabad by Sept 7 to the Additional Secretary Education
(Colleges) Muzaffarabad. Meanwhile, following display of last
merit lists on August 31 in government colleges for graduate and
postgraduate studies, and near the completion of admission process in
Intermediate second shifts, the private colleges and varsities have
accelerated their admission campaign for those who could not get
admission. Most of these institutions either do not have any charter
from the government or are affiliated with the institutions other than
the Punjab University, Lahore Board and Board of Technical Education.
Legally no other varsity can grant affiliation to any institution
operating in its jurisdiction. The Punjab University has also drawn a
list of the institutions, de-affiliated by it for not fulfilling the
basis requirement. But these institutions are still admitting the
students. Similarly, the Higher Education Commission (HEC) has also
drawn a list of universities and colleges not recognised by it or which
do not have any charter to act as varsity. However, these institutions
as well whose quality of education and credibility of degree is
questionable, are continuing to allure the unwary students due to lack
of any administrative machinery to disband them. The nation
