KARACHI: There is no quota for persons with disabilities in engineering universities, an online meeting of vice chancellors across the country was told on Wednesday.
The meeting, which was chaired by President Dr Arif Alvi, was attended by 166 vice chancellors.
Dr Sarosh Hashmat Lodhi, vice chancellor of Karachi’s NED University, said since there is no quota for persons with disabilities in engineering universities, they do not get admissions.
“The Pakistan Engineering Council decided in 1974 that no special seat would be reserved for the disabled and that decision is still in force,” he said.
President Alvi expressed his surprise over the non-availability of quota for the disabled in engineering universities. He said there was also a need to look into the medical field in which people with disabilities are being neglected.
