Education anomaly

2015-08-26
T HE education system of Punjab is much betterthan Balochistan.I,aBaloch, appeared for my FSc (pre-engineering) two months back from Multan and I am awaiting my results.

Punjab holds a combined entry test (E-CAT) for students aspiring to join engineering universities. However, only students possessing a Punjab domicile are eligible.

By the time my results are announced, college students from Punjab will already be a year ahead of us. In other words, I will lose one precious year.

I can`t understand the Balochistan government`s logic. If Punjab can hold examinations the same year, why can`t Balochistan? If the University of Engineering and Technology says that it has left this issue up to the provincial government, then why this injustice? This is probably why Balochistan isfarbehind Punjab.
