PMC said that it must be noted that under the PMC Act 2020, the provinces have the sole authority to allocate seats in public colleges. Also, it is up to the HEC to independently approach each province so that the quota for its scholarships can be allotted in public colleges.
"To assist the HEC and the provinces to coordinate this effort, the Council permitted the public universities to provide the final list of students admitted on the HEC scholarship programme by March 22, subject to there being no admission over and above the allocated strength of each college," it wrote.
