This refers to the letter ‘Admissions U-turn’ (March 19, 2024) by Maria Ahmed Siddiqui, expressing dissatisfaction with the cancellation of the complainant’s admission to Karachi University. The admission process at Karachi University is governed by strict guidelines and criteria, to which all applicants must adhere. Certain discrepancies must have been identified in the application that necessitated the cancellation of admission. Regarding the writer’s eligibility as a Diploma of Associate Engineering student, it must be clarified that this recognition does not automatically guarantee admission to Karachi University.
While the chairman of the computer science department may have acknowledged the equivalence of her qualification, it does not absolve the admission committee of their responsibility to conduct a thorough review of the application. Regarding the absence of a ruling by the university’s syndicate or academic council to justify the cancellation of admission, it must be clarified that such rulings are not required for individual admission decisions. The admission committee is empowered to make decisions based on the information available to them and in accordance with university policies and procedures.
