According to the HEC, any other institution that is not on the list of recognised universities, institutions, and campus(es) available on its official website “may also be referred to as non-recognised.”

The regulatory body warned students not to enrol in them, declaring such admissions illegal.

A look at the over 140 fake, illegal, unlawful, and unrecognised educational institutions reveals that the majority (96) are in Punjab, followed by Sindh (35), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (11), and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (3).
