Is an Associate Degree obtained after 12 years equivalent to a Bachelor’s degree of 14 years in Pakistan?

Answer:     Yes, as per HEC approved policy, 2-year Associate degree (comprising 60-66 credit hours with 04 regular semesters excluding summer semesters) awarded by HEC Chartered Universities/DAIs is equivalent to generally old BA/BSc (14 years schooling). However, equivalence of degrees is determined by HEC on individual basis upon submission of online application on the HEC portal.
