The Higher Education Commission (HEC) is a free, self-governing, and statutory foundation that provides critical funding, administration, direction, and authorization to higher education institutions in Pakistan. It is a non-partisan, non-political organisation.
Previously certified by the University Grants Commission (UGH) in 2002 following the promulgation of the Higher Education Commission Ordinance 2002, the colleges were previously certified by the UGH, which was established in 1947 and updated in 1974 before taking on its present form in 2002 under the administration of Atta-ur-Rahman, the organization’s founding Chairman, with additional official changes permitted by the constitution.
It operates directly under the Prime Minister and is not a subordinate of the Ministry of Education. It is a government agency. Another and reconsidered change is that the Higher Education Commission (HEC) is now in charge of developing an advanced education strategy and quality assurance to meet global standards, as well as authorizing scholarly degrees, developing new organisations, and invigorating existing institutions in Pakistan.
Applicants from Pakistan/AJK who are skilled and motivated are encouraged to apply for positions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) that are entirely supported and taken into consideration. It is a remarkable act of generosity on the part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to further develop bilateral educational ties between two inviting nations, namely the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
Without exception, HEC KSAS is associated with Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D. studies in certain fields of concentrates, with the exception of wellbeing and drugs. Scholarships are available in all orders, with the exception of Health, and can be applied online. The Saudi Arabia Scholarship is open to all students from all around Pakistan who meet the requirements. It is an unprecedented act of charity on the part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to further develop bi-parallel educational links between two neighboring countries, namely the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Students from both male and female backgrounds are eligible to apply for the HEC Scholarship 2021 Program.
