The Higher Education Commission (HEC) is an institution that strives to make higher education accessible to the Pakistani youth. From time to time, you would find scholarships (local and foreign) throughout the year that you could apply for.

Foreign Scholarships

These foreign scholarships are from the UK, USA, China, Azerbaijan, European countries, and other countries. So you can pick and choose according to the country you want to go to and the programs that the scholarships present. For instance, if you are into medical sciences, one scholarship might be better than the rest.

Most scholarships had their deadlines in December and mid-January. Commonwealth scholarship, for instance, had its deadline at the end of 2021. Meanwhile, the scholarship for Hungary was due on 15th January 2021.

The process of some of these scholarships includes applying to the scholarship portal and the HEC portal. Failure to apply even on one of the portal will lead to being disqualified.

HEC Aptitude Test for scholarships

So if you applied for scholarships at HEC, this notification is for you. Those who cleared the first round of application have been invited to appear for an aptitude test, HAT test. This test is for three foreign scholarship programs.

HEC’s Twitter account announced on Monday that these tests would be held on Sunday 31st January 2021. Moreover, the scholarships these tests will speak for are Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme 2021, HEC-Chinese Government Scholarship Programme 2021, and Commonwealth Ph.D. Scholarship Programme 2021.

What to Bring

To appear for the test, you need to get your test slip that has been generated for all the applicants.

The tweet further added:

“Applicants can get their test slip information from the ETC website OR through email or SMS.”

So, most importantly, you need to bring the roll number slip. It will have important guidelines but do not forget to bring an ID document as well.
