illegal fake institution

The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has been on a roll with its crackdown against universities with irregular operations and mismanagement.

Last year, HEC had declared a ban on four universities!

Seemingly, these institutes did not meet the commission’s standards of quality assurance and proper governance practices.


  • Preston Institute of Management Sciences and Technology (PIMSAT) in Karachi,
  • Global Institute in Lahore
  • Imperial College of Business Studies in Lahore
  • Al-Khair University in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

Apparently, there a number of institutes/ universities/campuses/colleges and foreign collaborative arrangement that’s have been established illegally in the nation.

All Of These Educational Bodies:

    1. Have not sought the approval of the HEC for specific programmes.
    2. have No accreditation was obtained from regulatory and registration bodies such as Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PMDC) and Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC).
    3.  Sub-campuses of certain universities were also established without any approval
