The Universities that come under G8 (hope you know, if not then what’s the
GOOGLE for?) league are mostly state-owned universities. People dream to go to
such universities. All in all, the point is that they are STATE-OWNED. In simple words
governments of these respective countries helped them survive gracefully and have made them worldly renowned. We are a "Muslim State" and for us pursuit of education is "compulsory" ethically as well as religiously .Huh! So let’s have a little check of our universities. Take "University of Karachi" for instance.
We enjoy a very comfortable environment here, isn't it? Everyone knows the degree of UoK is "recognized world over", But does it have any worth even within Pakistan? According to a teacher "a degree is just an entrance ticket for you in any organization" if it is so, then whose going to accept us? Scary...
Record-keeping strategy of semester results is extremely lousy. Once the mark sheet leaves the department whether correct or incorrect, no one is concerned about it. No one cares if results in Performa’s are wrongly written, and best part is they always make troublesome errors. Wrongly written marks are always less than what student scores, they’re never more. In short, students no more expect any unintentional favor or generosity from department. Points (university buses) of the university are hopeless. The points are usually loaded with crowd that they can’t handle.
This is a serious issue that needs to be taken under consideration. Once a friend of
mine from UAE visited university said in a mocking way "Yar! KU isa lot like a village"..LOL... What could I say? Or what could've been said? I just ignored and switched to some other topic. Bluntly speaking, it’s obvious that people even coming from szabist of UAE would obviously find it crap.
After all, it’s a public university. No one can be held responsible; after all we all are part of this lousy system. Let’s see where in the end we would land. . .
