In fact during the award of scholarship they are not considering the 16 years/18 years of education.I think this is not fair.
In fact they are awarding scholarship on the basis "2hour" test (GAT only) and they are completely ignoring the whole academic background of a student.I think its not fair criteria to award scholarship.
They must have to consider the 16/18 years of education also.
I think this is really bad.They can give some fair weight-age to the GAT but they should have to consider the educational background.
in fact they should follow this criteria.

for 10% (8-10 scholarships) scholarship program this criteria is ok as there are a few people apply for this scholarship but for 90% (about 300 scholarships) it is difficult for HEC to evaluate academic background so they do only shortlisting on the basis of GAT score while for final Award of scholarship each University has its criteria to evaluate academics.
There may be some problems by doing shortlisting on the basis of GAT but it is only shortlisting for final award other things are also considered.
