AIOU examinations: Offices set up in eight more cities

ISLAMABAD: Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) will expand its network of examination offices to the country’s main cities including Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta, Rahim Yar Khan, Abbottabad, Gujranwala and Mianwali. These offices will address the students’ complaints regarding exams and will facilitate the students in solving their problems. The first examination office will be inaugurated in Lahore on Monday by AIOU Vice-Chancellor Dr Nazir Ahmed Sangi. “This is the first step toward the decentralisation of the university’s examination system in order to provide students the best possible facilities,” said AIOU Controller of Examinations Hamid Khan Niazi. He added that in future, students would not need to approach the university’s main campus in Islamabad for queries, and instead will have all answers at their doorsteps.
