They said that getting a no-objection certificate from the commission was not their responsibility but it was the responsibility of the university administration that took millions of rupees in fees from them.

The aspirants who are presently in the mid of their degree, claimed they were given admission to the BSc Engineering programme but now they were being told that they will get a BTech degree.

The angry students moreover said that university management had extorted millions of rupees during the last four years and had now told them that HEC did not recognize the BSc Engineering programme.

The students said that the sub-campus of university lacked PhD professors and High technology laboratory as well as professional faculty due to which Higher Education Commission did not recognize their degree.

Nauman Ahmad, a student of MPhil Management Science, said that their campus did not have a permanent PhD lecturer.

Some of the students said that they had complained several times to retired Col Hasan Imam, the campus director, however he did not listen to them. Mr Imam refused to give any comment on this matter.

Afterwards, police dispersed the crowd upon guarantee that their issue will be taken up with the university high-ups.

No university teacher approached the aspirants for a dialogue during this 2-hour protest.
