Dr. Ibrahim Khan |
I have published a book chapter, 31 research publication in ACS, Elsevier and Nature etc. Yet I need myself prove vis IPFP kind of jobs? When will HEC start serious thinking about our credentials? My CV is already big enough than many experienced professors at various universities? What else I need to prove. |
I don’t know the purpose of this question if gentleman wants to retire and feel they have done enough in life that is his decision. If they wish to remain in professional life they have to do hard work. Professional life in hard and many can’t survive. |

Mr. Rubina |
I had MPhil degree prior to job but after completion of 10 years at university of Sahiwal now I cannot be promoted due to HEC criteria for assistant professor. How it can be justified? |

Dr. Waqar Ahmed |
It is my suggestion that HEC Chairman should call all VCs of the universities and make it possible that they may advertise post for such scholars and directly appoint if performance remain satisfactory during IPFP tenure. I shall be very thankful to you for your kind action. The VC’s should make an inquiry why post were not advertise for IPFP candidates and why friendly people were appointed either permanent or visiting. Please especially my concern in Physics department of AIOU. |
Appointment of academic positions is the responsibility of the universities (syndicates) or other statutory bodies. HEC provides guidelines and compliance with guidelines. But does not and will not usurp the right of universities to make appointments. |

Sir I want to know. What suitable steps you are doing to improve the standard of PhD in Pakistan? And what steps are u taking to secure the students from supervisor mafia. I have experienced and seen that many students suffers due to their supervisors. Students can’t speak against them. Can’t complain if they do, they have to suffer? |
On the 1st question we are reviewing PhD programs to ensure that the process and outcomes improvements. On 2nd questions we are reviewing the performance of universities year wise. |
Response |

Dr. Aqeela |
Sir why there is no stipend for PhD Students in all Pakistani engineering universities? Some scholars can’t afford the heavy fees of PhD programs. Some university are offering stipend such as UET, Lahore IBA Sukkur. Why not other Universities? Please look into this. |
In principal stipend for PhD should be organized by the universities themselves, the research funds provided by the HEC can help. |

Dr Nayab |
Sir I just want my kids to be scientist a PhD doctor. But seeing them onraods strongly discouraged me.Is this future asset? You are responsible because you people have no planning, competence and courage to admit your fault. |
We are trying to a certain why some PhD graduate are unable to get jobs even though there is very high demand, If there are deficiencies in their preparation and training we will help them to overcome the deficiencies . This will also help us to ensure that proper skills and are provided during PhD programs itself. |

University lecturer post was upgraded in 18 scale, but qualification and other requirements remains same why? Now in universities no any grade 17 positions available on academic side why? Kindly enforce universities to recruit PhD qualified teacher during selection board and give prefernace to candidates who are already working on IPFP with respect one more suggestion is start grade 17 position on academic side to facilitate qualified candidates. And change Nomenclature as BPS 17, 18 years of education |

What is HEC policy regarding regularization of Adhoc /contract PhD’s? My job will end in December after working for five years. Can HEC direct the university to not fire me? Can HEC probe into the previous selection boards based upon repotism? |
These are all matters of universities to decide. Hec could not direct universities to select (or not to fix) a particular candidate , that is we can ask for the report of selection that is it transparent or not. |

Dr Kamran Umar |
Can u please answer the question that why top list candidate has not been selected. it’s because the poor policy of HEC they told us that according to HE policy fresh PhD candidate can never be appointed on BPS. Candidate at position no 16 and 23 were selected. |
HEC policies are mean to ensure that the last candidates are selected. |

Dr. Khawar Mehmood |
According to HEC policy there is fix credit hours for faculty to teach in university. Isa huge number of public and private sector universities which offering visiting faculty. how it is possible for faculty member to teach extra credit hour with no compromise e on quality of education. Universities pay less to the visiting faculty. They save money and earn more They did not hire permanent faculty that is why qualified PhD’s are unemployed and this ration is increasing day by day. HEC should force universities to hire permanent visiting faculty |
If we receive information that is HEC rules are being violated, we can initiate against universities for e.g. reduce funding’s stopping programs. We will also Asses your recommendations whether they can be enforced? |

Dr. Munir Ullah Khan |
Why HEC don’t design proper and equal selection criteria for hiring a faculty for e.g. (Assistant, Associate and full professor). It provide chance to relevant university administration to manipulate things for their own benefits. Why HEC don’t take any measures to regulate the quality of publications/ ihave applied to kohat university of Science and Technology 60 impact factor in high ranked journals. The university selection board just drop my application because I don’t have enough no of publications.On other have 20 publications with impact factor 10. If I have one paper in nature and science journals it is worthless in Pakistnai university selection board. Because they will give me just one number on behalf of my one nature or science journal paper. other will have 20 publications with very low quality they will get selected on behalf of their no of publications. |
The TTS committee is reviewing, recruiting / promotions criteria in order to misuse. HEC is also reviewing other options for strengthening the assessment of quality of publications. This would help people with a better publication record. |
