Over 16,500 students at the University of Karachi (KU) have accumulated unpaid fees amounting to over Rs 2.1 billion between the years 2020 and 2024. These students are enrolled in the university’s morning, evening, and MBA programs.
The alarming figure was disclosed during a recent meeting chaired by KU Vice Chancellor Dr. Khalid Mahmood Iraqi. The Vice Chancellor expressed serious concern over the mounting unpaid dues, which have placed a significant financial burden on the institution.
As part of the university’s response to this issue, it was decided that students with outstanding fees will not be allowed to sit for their exams or receive their admit cards unless they settle their dues. This decision aims to address the growing financial strain caused by fee defaulters and ensure that students meet their financial obligations to the university.
The unpaid fees have raised concerns about the financial sustainability of the university and the challenges faced by students in paying their dues. University officials are now urging students to clear their fees promptly to avoid disruptions to their education and ensure the smooth functioning of academic activities.
