Students from Pakistan’s flood-affected regions will receive a single semester fee reduction, according to the Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU).
The AIOU’s Directorate of Public Relations (PR) sent out a notification in this regard on Friday.
According to specifics, during the current admissions for the fall semester of 2022, students who are currently enrolled in matric and inter at the university’s campuses in Sindh (aside from Karachi), Balochistan, Dera Ismail Khan (DI Khan), and Dera Ghazi Khan (DG Khan) will receive a complete fee waiver.
Additionally, students pursuing the Associate Degree in Arts (ADA) in the aforementioned areas will receive a 50% semester fee discount.
