Karachi: The vice chancellor of University of Karachi (UOK), Prof Dr Muhammad Ajmal Khan, announced that no student of KU will be deprived of applying for the HEC PhD scholarships, as all the data about all the morning, evening and diploma programmes has already been uploaded on the web portal of HEC.
Ajmal Khan said that he had taken notice that the varsity students will be deprived of HEC scholarships because of the failure of the Karachi University’s management to upload all the related data. He inspected the issue and it was revealed that former Vice Chancellor’s focal person did not upload all the data even though the university bore the expenditures of training her for this job.
