I am happy to see 2829 mature, mid-career, in-service as well as fresh graduate scholars reposing their trust and confidence in University of Sindh. I understand one adult scholar equates 10 undergraduate students, hence these 2829 candidates are tantamount to 28290 undergraduates seeking to enroll at Pakistan’s premier higher education institution i.e. University of Sindh. I will make sure that we provide the selected scholars the best possible research facilities and culture at the varsity”, the vice chancellor said.
