In the meeting, it was also decided to discontinue the entrance test for third-year BS programs and instead grant admissions based on merit.

Earlier on September 25, teachers at the University of Karachi ended their 10-day boycott of classes after receiving assurances from the provincial government that their pending payments would be cleared soon.

The teachers, who had been protesting since September 22 over non-payment of arrears and increments, resumed their academic duties after meeting with the secretary of universities and boards, who represented the caretaker chief minister of Sindh.
