AccreditationHigher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan — established 11 September 2002 by HEC Ordinance 2002 (later HEC Act 2002), succeeding the earlier University Grants Commission (UGC) that existed since 1974. HEC is an independent autonomous body that oversees recognition, accreditation, quality assurance, and funding of all degree-granting universities and HEIs in Pakistan. HEC maintains the Register of Recognised Universities and Degree Awarding Institutions (DAIs) at hec.gov.pk/english/universities/pages/recognised.aspx. Beyond HEC, several professional accreditation councils handle programme-level accreditation: PEC (Pakistan Engineering Council) for engineering, PMDC/PMC (Pakistan Medical and Dental Council) for medicine, PBC (Pakistan Bar Council) for law, NBEAC (National Business Education Accreditation Council) for business education, NCEAC (National Computing Education Accreditation Council) for computing, NACTE (National Accreditation Council for Teacher Education) for education. Pakistan operates a 4-tier HE structure: Bachelor (4 years post-Intermediate) → Master (1-2 years) → MPhil/MS → PhD.

Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to
help people find their way to education — and the wider project
supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in
Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
