They could not care less about your education

One of the worst universities i have ever been to. It was a huge mistake to study. They cannot even provide the basic facilities. No trees no AC for students in halls. Canteen food may cause food poisoning. In month of june and july it gets unbearable. Their prayer area is a JOKE, designated in second basement in a corner of parking garage where we pray for jummah and you cannot even imagine how bad it gets when 200 people pray together without ac or fans. I have not even started on the staff yet and this is how bad it is. PLEASE whatever you do dont take admission here. My entire degree felt like it was prison camp. They are creating building on top of building but they cannot create a simple garden or masjid. All they want is your money and could not care less about your education.

About Education system

Im saira students of university of the Punjab i complete my Bs Economics recently i like my university education systems because they give opportunities and chance of needed students of Pakistan and others countries to complete education through funds and scholarships

Medical university

For me, it was a big achievement to get admission at the King Edward medical university. You really have to work hard to reach this institute and even harder to survive here. But the situation is not bad.
