Islamabad, Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) has always upheld the tradition of standing with the nation in times of trials and challenges. Continuing this legacy, the university’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Dr. Nasir Mahmood has approved a special relief package worth 120 million rupees for currently enrolled students residing in flood-affected areas.
The Vice Chancellor stated that the university’s objective is to support students in difficult circumstances so they may continue their education despite financial hardships. He reaffirmed the commitment that AIOU will keep taking every possible step for the promotion of education and the welfare of its students.
According to Director Students’ Affairs, Syed Ghulam Kazim Ali the university has fully waived the current semester (Autumn 2025) fees for matriculation and FA (Intermediate) students who have not yet paid their fees while students enrolled in graduation and associate degree programs will be granted a 50% concession in fees. Furthermore, the admission deadline has been extended until September 15 enabling affected students to continue their academic activities with ease.
This initiative is not only an important step towards securing the educational future of flood-affected students but also a reflection of the university’s humanitarian policy and national responsibility.
