AOA. I have done BS Hons (16 years) from NUST, a local university. Do I need to get equivalence certificate from HEC?

The following excerpt is taken from FAQs section on HEC website:

"Question15: I have done 4-year BS (Hons) degree program after 12-year schooling. Is it equivalent to old Master's Degree involving 16-year of schooling?

Answer: Yes, as per approved policy, any 4-year Bachelor (Hons) degree (minimum 124-136 credit hours with 08 regular semesters excluding summer semesters) awarded by HEC chartered Universities/DAI after 12-year schooling is generally recognized by HEC as equivalent to MA/MSc degree in their own field of specialization involving 16-year of schooling. However, equivalence of degrees is determined by HEC on individual basis upon submission of application on the relevant equivalence proforma (E-01) along with all relevant documents and fee."

The last line is confusing because it leaves room for a potential problem from FPSC's side. If anyone here is or has been in a similar situation, kindly share your experience.

Thank you!
