Pakistan: Peshawar University employees found taking commissions for issuing degrees
Peshawar: An investigation by a leading Pakistan news channel has found that University of Peshawar employees have been taking commissions from students to issue transcripts and degrees.
The University of Peshawar, the largest university in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, issues more than 20,000 transcripts and degrees to students annually, reports Geo News.
However, 8% was charged as a commission by university employees from the amount collected for degrees, transcripts (marks sheets) and verification fees, the Pakistani news channel reported.
From the received amount, 50% was allotted to the controller examinations, 30% went to the deputy controller and 20% to the verification assistant. In the online foreign degree verification fee, 40% went to the controller of examinations and the registrar and 20% to the verification assistant, the news channel reported.
The news channel investigation report even claimed that the university employees took millions of rupees from the students under the guise of law.
Special Assistant for Higher Education Kamran Khan Bangash distanced himself from the University Syndicate and told the news channel that some people in the universities were playing the role of a mafia.
