HEC rejects claim equating technology and engineering degrees
The Higher Education Commission says a social media document dated 29 October 2026 that equates technology and conventional engineering degrees was never issued by the commission.
HEC says a viral social media notification on engineering degrees was never issued by the commission.
The document, dated 29 October 2026, claimed BTech (Honours) equals a BE or BSc Engineering degree.
It also claimed a DAE counts as 14 years of education and allows lateral entry into engineering programmes.
HEC urged the public not to circulate the document and to use only its official website and verified accounts.
