HEC Attestation & Equivalence: Critical Updates for 2026

The Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan has introduced a new digital-first attestation framework for 2026. If you are planning to study abroad or apply for government roles, these changes affect your timeline.

Key Changes in 2026:

  • QR-Coded Verification: Physical stamps are being phased out for digital QR verification.
  • Equivalence Delays: International degree equivalence now requires a 14-day technical audit.

Ensure your documents are formatted correctly before submission to avoid rejection cycles.
