The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has discontinued the ‘MS/MPhil leading to Ph.D.’ programs in its new Ph.D. admission policy.
Under the new policy, students can pursue a Ph.D. degree after the completion of their Bachelor’s degrees. However, this is just a minimum criterion and universities are free to develop their own admission frameworks.
