He said that a large number of students in Rawalpindi remain deprived of getting admissions owing to which they were going to start evening shifts in colleges and schools. Rashid said no students will face any problem related to admission anymore.

Appreciating female students, the minister said that they were taking 100 out of 100 marks, leaving behind their male peers.

College Principal Irum Ashar said the construction of a new hall has solved a big problem as different programmes and ceremonies will be arranged there instead of in the open air.
