The University Recognition Pre-Check verifies that your Pakistani university and degree program hold valid HEC recognition before you invest time and money in the attestation process. GreenAttest confirms accreditation status, identifies potential issues, and advises on the best pathway for your specific qualifications.
Not all Pakistani universities and degree programs are recognized by the Higher Education Commission. Private universities may lose recognition, specific programs may lack accreditation even at recognized institutions, and some distance-learning programs are not approved by HEC. Submitting an unrecognized degree for attestation results in rejection, wasted fees, and lost time.
GreenAttest's University Recognition Pre-Check is a diagnostic service that verifies your institution and program against HEC records before any attestation work begins. We check the university's current recognition status, confirm that your specific degree program was accredited during your enrollment period, and identify any red flags that could cause problems downstream.
If issues are found, we advise on corrective steps such as obtaining equivalency through alternative pathways, securing recognition letters from the institution, or pursuing program-specific accreditation confirmations. This service saves our clients significant time and money by preventing failed attestation attempts.
