The Higher Education Commission (HEC) Pakistan has directed universities offering computing programs to ensure the timely registration of eligible students for the upcoming National Skills Competency Test (NSCT).
Director General Quality Assurance, Nasir Shah, emphasized that on-time registration is essential to maintaining academic standards and effectively tracking skills development within computing disciplines.
HEC advised institutions to complete the registration process without delay to prevent administrative issues and ensure that students can participate in the forthcoming NSCT sessions smoothly.
The initiative is part of HEC’s broader strategy to strengthen competency-based assessments and improve graduate employability across the country.
Officials further noted that timely registrations will facilitate better logistical planning and efficient resource allocation, ensuring a streamlined testing process for both universities and students.
In a related development, HEC also announced special USAT and HAT tests for candidates applying under the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme 2026, providing additional opportunities for eligible students to fulfill admission and scholarship requirements.
