KARACHI:
Several hundred graduating students at the Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology face issues in their applications for higher studies or jobs as the university has failed to announce the results for most of the technologies even three months after the final exam.
The students took their last exam in December last year, marking the completion of their Bachelor's degree programme. The university spokesperson, when approached by The Express Tribune, termed this delay as "normal" and "expected".
"We desperately require our transcripts as the deadlines for application at the foreign institutes we intend to apply are passing by, one after another," said a telecommunication engineering student while talking to The Express Tribune. Another student, who was miffed at missing the fall application deadline at a Canadian public research institution in Montreal, Concordia University, explained that all the good institutions demand complete transcripts to consider an application for scholarship.
A student anticipating to receive a degree in electronic engineering said that the university had assured them earlier that the transcripts will be issued by the mid of February, but later asked for another 15 days. "Now it has been around 10 days over to their second deadline and, now, the application deadlines of at least 20 to 25 have also lapsed."
