Pakistani universities
Higher education in Pakistan is the systematic process of students continuing their education beyond secondary school, learned societies, and two-year colleges. The governance of higher education is maintained under the Higher Education Commission (HEC) which oversees the financial funding, research outputs, and teaching quality in the country. In Pakistan, the higher education system includes the public, private, military, and vocational universities, all accredited by the HEC. Since independence, new universities have expanded throughout the country with support provided by the University Grants Commission (UGC), which had been an autonomous institution of recognizing universities until 2002 when it was preceded by the HEC. Pakistan produces about 445,000 university graduates and 10,000 computer science graduates annually. A number of institutions of higher learning are active in the country, but the HEC recognizes 183 institutions. This article provides a comprehensive list of higher education institutions active in Pakistan.
Despite many attempts by the HEC, illegal higher education institutions and degree awarding institutions continue to operate in every part of the country. Punjab has the most illegal educational institutions not recognised by the HEC, who are operating in the province unabated. The HEC, in October of 2017, identified 165 unrecognized institutions from all over the country. Out of the total, 102 were found to be operating in Punjab; an overwhelming majority of 61.81% out of the total. Of the 102 non-recognised institutions in Punjab, Lahore alone had 38.
