Islamabad
The Honourable Islamabad High Court has issued a stay order on the Higher Education Commission’s (HEC) directive that had imposed a ban on admissions at Isra University.
The court’s order effectively suspended the action announced by the HEC in its public notice on February 13, 2025, which claimed that all programs and departments at Isra University were to cease admissions and that degrees issued to students who enrolled in the Fall 2022 semester would not be recognized by the HEC.
The Honorable Court order (Petition No.953 of 2025) ruled in favor of Isra University, suspending the effects of the February notice and lifting the admission ban. The court order allows students to freely apply and gain admission to any program at Isra University without facing any restrictions.
Additionally, the court order restrains the HEC from interfering with the attestation and recognition of Isra University’s degrees.
The court further prohibited any adverse actions regarding the degrees of students enrolled after the Fall 2022 semester, thereby ensuring that Isra University’s academic operations and the recognition of its degrees remain unaffected.
This court order is a significant development, affirming the rights of students and the University’s ability to continue its educational programs without external hindrance.
Isra University looks forward to serving its academic community and contributing to higher education excellence.
