ISLAMABAD: The Higher Education Commission (HEC) on Friday advised parents and students to seek admission only in HEC’s recognised universities, degree awarding institutes and their approved campuses.

The HEC also has one campus each in Gilgit, Abbottabad, Multan, Faisalabad, Bhawalpur, Dir, Bannu, Swat, Topi and Mansehra.
