I got admission in bzu Lahore campus which offers MS ( 2 years ) degree, 1 year class work and 1 year thesis as required by Hec for Phd. That's a new approach, think so. As old pattern was universities offer MS ( 1.5 years ) class work degree while MPhil ( 1 year class , 1 year thesis ), so now am seeing the scenario has been changed by universities. Still some universities other than BZU offer MS/MPhil degree programmes in same subjects. It's strange for me. As far as my opinion is concerned hec should take interest in this matter too to ease students as some of them may go overseas for higher education. Thank you.
