Discrimination

The Karachi University Academic Council has decided to reserve seats for A Level students rather than allowing them to seek admission on open merit. This will deny admission to many deserving students wishing to study natural sciences, visual studies and humanities.

Given that the decision came barely a month before admissions to Honours and DPharm classes, many students who passed their A Level examinations this July and have been waiting for the KU admissions will lose a year since several higher educational institutions admit students in August.
