On this occasion, Prof. Dr. Ihsan Ali reiterated that admissions on self-finance are introduced because every year a plethora of students stay deprived of attaining quality education at AWKUM as they lag behind in the overall merit. Keeping in view the deprivation of such students, it has been decided to introduce self-finance admissions in various departments of AWKUM. Specially designed evening classes will be arranged for the Self-Finance students. Prof. Dr. Ali further added that the fee for Self-Finance programmes has been specially looked into in order to ensure that the students are not over-burdened.

In the meeting it was also decided to launch 4-year programme in Arts & Design, Animal Sciences, BCs Software and Economics at AWKUM. It was also decided to commence BS Zoology at Buner Campus. The meeting decided to extend the last date for BS 4-year programme till August 31, 2014.
