College-varsity marks ratio to determine BS (Hons) final results
Lahore, Aug 21: The examination criteria for BS (Hons) in six colleges of the
city affiliated with Punjab University will remain 40:60 – papers of 40
marks will be taken by the relevant college and 60 per cent marks will
be given by Punjab University in the papers that it will take after
every two semesters. This has been agreed during a meeting of
principals of the colleges and the PU committee headed by Pro-Vice

the six universities with whom the 26 autonomous colleges have been
affiliated for 4 years BS (Hons) programme. The criteria will remain
different in cases of BS (Hons) in universities and BS (Hons) in
colleges because the degree will be awarded by the respective
universities. The pass percentage per paper will be 50 per cent
marks within the affiliated colleges in the semester exams and 40 per
cent pass percentage for per paper to be taken by the University of
Punjab, the aggregate being 50 per cent marks. The university will
take examination after every two semesters. It will take two papers for
each subjects/paper pertaining to one semester and second semester. Regarding
paper setting, the university will nominate one internal examiner for a
paper and the other examiner will also be nominated by the varsity as
an external examiner of the Punjab University. There will be no exit in 4 years BS programme but there may be freezing
of semester. The government has, however, announced there would be exit
after two years and the graduates will be awarded associate degree if
they do not want to complete the 4 years study. As regards intake of
students, for one BS 4 years programme, the university intake is 30
students but the college intake will be 50 students per class. The
GPA will be according to university norms. The subjects in which the PU
has no BS programme, the PU/College will follow the HEC pattern like
English and Commerce. The university will declare affiliation,
examination fee and registration fee after getting comments of
finance/examination department of the PU. For the training, the
university will pick the teachers with the help of experts and senior
professors of the relevant fields. The nation

College vacation cancelled for flood relief
Lahore, Aug 21: To invite and mobilize youth to support
the government in relief and rescue activities in the wake of large
scale destruction by the floods in different parts of the province, the
Punjab government has cancelled summer vacation of all public colleges. However, academic activities will not resume with the opening of the colleges. It is pertinent to mention that the colleges were scheduled to reopen after September 9 after the summer break. The
Punjab Higher Education Department has informed college heads to call
teachers and students and engage them in collecting relief goods for the
flood affected people and mobilize youth to come forward with clear
instruction that no academic activity would be resumed with opening of
the institutes. At the same time the colleges, situated near flood
affected areas, would also cater to the dislocated people. According to
the department officials, over 15,000 flood affected people had already
been provided shelter in government colleges of Dera Ghazi Khan division
alone. They said the department had developed a mechanism under
which all the eight Boards of Intermediate & Secondary Education
(BISEs) would also be engaged for packing and transportation of relief
goods to the affected areas. According to initial reports received by
the department, around 9 colleges had been partially damaged by floods
in Rajanpur, Muzaffargarh, DG Khan and Mianwali districts. The official
said the picture would be cleared after receding of flood water, adding
the number of colleges damaged by flood waters might be more than the
figures received so far. They said that, after collection of relied
goods, including medicines, teams comprising college volunteers would be
dispatched to flood affected areas, adding that the recently formed
Youth Commission would also be involved in the whole process. The
official further said that the department was aware of problems being
faced by students of flood hit areas as many of them were supposed to
get admission to colleges in the provincial metropolis and other big
cities for intermediate studies but could not do so in the wake of
floods. Higher Education secretary Ahad Khan Cheema said the
government had already postponed the entrance test, scheduled for August
8, for admission to engineering universities and institutions of the
province keeping in view devastating floods in different areas of the
province. He said the students failing to get admissions to colleges
owing to floods would be facilitated even in terms of fees, however, he
added, at the moment, the government was focused on the rescue and
rehabilitation of flood affectees. The secretary said no academic
activity would be held at colleges while teachers and students would be
mobilized to collect relief goods for the flood affected people and
volunteer themselves for the cause.
