HEC Equivalence Certificate Ka Tareeqa (2026): Foreign Degree, Fee Rs 5,000 Aur Online Process

HEC Equivalence Kya Hai — Seedha Jawab

Agar aap ne degree Pakistan se bahir kisi university se li hai (UK, China, Malaysia, Gulf, Europe, America — koi bhi mulk), to Pakistan me woh degree usi waqt qabool hoti hai jab HEC (Higher Education Commission) us ka Equivalence Certificate (equivalence letter) jari kare. Ye letter sirf aik baat batata hai: aap ki bahir wali degree Pakistan ke system me kis level ki hai — Bachelor ke barabar hai ya Master ke barabar. HEC equivalence fee Rs 5,000 per degree hai aur poora process online hai — eservices.hec.gov.pk se, koi hard copy HEC bhejne ki zaroorat nahi.

Equivalence aur attestation do alag cheezen hain, aur yahin sab se zyada confusion hoti hai:

• Pakistani degree → HEC Degree Attestation (degree ki asliyat ki tasdeeq)
• Bahir ki degree → Equivalence (ye guide) — degree ka Pakistani level tay hota hai
• Bahir ki school taleem (O/A Levels waghera) → IBCC equivalence — school level ka kaam IBCC karta hai, HEC nahi

Kis Ko Equivalence Lazmi Hai

• Sarkari nokri ke liye apply karne walon ko — advertisement me aam tor par "HEC equivalence lazmi" likha hota hai
• Pakistan me PhD ya aagli taleem ke admission ke liye
• Promotion aur service records ke liye jahan foreign degree darj karwani ho
• Kayi private idaron aur banks ko bhi joining par equivalence letter mangna parta hai

Fee

Item	Fee
Har degree/diploma ki equivalence	Rs 5,000 (non-refundable)

Ye fee HEC ki apni official maloomat ke mutabiq hai aur 1-Link (1-Bill) ke zariye online pay hoti hai. Aik ahem baat: agar aap ki foreign university degree ki tasdeeq ke liye apni verification fee mangti hai, woh Rs 5,000 ke ilawa hai aur aap ko seedha university ko deni hogi — HEC ki fee me woh shamil nahi.

Hisab ki misal: Bahir se Bachelor + Master dono ki equivalence chahiye to 2 applications, kul Rs 10,000 — aur pehle Bachelor ki equivalence hogi, phir Master ki.

Zaroori Documents

• Foreign degree (asal + saaf scan) jis ki equivalence chahiye
• Transcript (degree ke sath wali)
• CNIC ya NICOP
• Passport — main page aur visa/entry-exit stamps jo sabit karein ke aap taleem ke doran us mulk me mojood the
• Purani taleem: Matric aur Inter certificates; agar woh bhi bahir ki hain to un ki IBCC equivalence pehle chahiye hogi
• Master ki equivalence ke liye: Bachelor degree pehle se equivalent/attested honi chahiye

Degree ya transcript English me na ho to official translation sath lagani hogi.

Step-by-Step Online Process

Step 1: Portal Par Account Aur Profile

1. eservices.hec.gov.pk par Sign Up karein — naam, CNIC aur tamam maloomat documents ke harf-ba-harf mutabiq bharein.
2. Apna academic profile mukammal karein — purani taleem se shuru karke foreign degree tak.

Step 2: Equivalence Application

1. "Equivalence Services" me ja kar "Foreign Degree Recognition/Equivalence" chunein.
2. Degree ki tafseel bharein, documents ke saaf scans upload karein aur application submit karein.
3. "Task Assigned" wale hisse se fee challan/task khulega — 1-Link se Rs 5,000 pay karein aur payment verify karein. Payment verify kiye baghair application process nahi hoti.

Step 3: University Verification — Sab Se Ahem Marhala

Equivalence letter tab hi banta hai jab aap ki foreign university khud HEC ko degree ki asliyat confirm kare:

1. University HEC ko seedha email karti hai (fe-degree-verification@hec.gov.pk) ke ye degree asal hai — ya university ke official verification link/sealed letter ke zariye tasdeeq hoti hai.
2. Apni university ke registrar/examinations office ko khud follow up karein — apna HEC application ID un ko dein taake wohi reference tasdeeq me likha jaye.
3. University jawab na de to letter ruk jata hai — ye marhala aap ke apne follow-up se tez hota hai, HEC ke daftar jaane se nahi.

Step 4: Equivalence Letter Download

Scrutiny aur verification mukammal hone par system-generated equivalence letter aap ke dashboard par a jata hai — wahan se download karein. Letter par sirf degree ka level likha hota hai; CGPA ya grades nahi hote — ye normal hai, HEC sirf level tay karta hai. Letter ki online verification bhi portal se ho jati hai — verification ka tareeqa HEC degree verification guide me diya hai.

Kitna Waqt Lagta Hai

Aam tor par 15-30 working days — lekin asal raftar university verification par hai. University foran jawab de to letter jaldi ban jata hai; university sust ho to mahina se zyada bhi lag sakta hai. Sarkari nokri ki deadline ho to kam az kam 2 mahine pehle application de dein.

Aam Ghaltiyan

1. Attestation aur equivalence ka farq na samajhna: Pakistani degree par equivalence nahi lagti, bahir ki degree ki "attestation" HEC Pakistan me nahi hoti — us ki equivalence hoti hai.
2. Payment verify na karna: Fee pay karke "Task Assigned" me verify na karein to application atki rehti hai.
3. University ko follow up na karna: Verification university ke jawab par ruki hoti hai — registrar ko email karna aap ka kaam hai.
4. CGPA ki umeed: Letter par grades nahi ate — employer ko ye pehle se wazeh kar dein ke HEC sirf level deta hai.
5. Incomplete degree: Jo degree mukammal hi nahi hui, us ki equivalence nahi banti. Us surat me sirf "University Recognition Status letter" mil sakta hai (us ki koi fee nahi).

Aksar Poche Jane Wale Sawal

HEC equivalence ki fee kitni hai? Rs 5,000 per degree/diploma, non-refundable, 1-Link se online pay hoti hai. University ki apni verification fee (agar woh mange) is ke ilawa hai.

Kya HEC office ja kar documents jama karwane hain? Nahi. Poora process paperless hai — application, documents upload, fee aur letter, sab eservices.hec.gov.pk se hota hai.

Equivalence letter par CGPA kyun nahi likha hota? Kyunkay HEC sirf degree ka level (Bachelor/Master ke barabar) tay karta hai — grades ya CGPA us ke dairay me nahi. Ye letter ki khami nahi, us ka maqsad hi yahi hai.

Master ki equivalence ke liye pehle kya chahiye? Bachelor degree ki equivalence (agar woh bhi foreign hai) ya HEC-attested Pakistani Bachelor degree. Sequence ulta nahi chal sakta.

How much is the HEC equivalence fee for a foreign degree? The HEC equivalence fee is Rs 5,000 per degree or diploma, paid online through 1-Link on eservices.hec.gov.pk. The process is fully paperless, but your foreign university must confirm your degree directly to HEC before the equivalence letter is issued.

O/A Levels ki equivalence kahan se hogi? School level ki foreign taleem ki equivalence IBCC deta hai, HEC nahi. Matric/Inter level ke documents ke liye IBCC attestation guide dekhein.
