ISLAMABAD: Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) has entered into an arrangement with Pakistan Postal Services so that students can be facilitated in the admissions process.

Under the agreement reached between the two sides, it was decided that post offices throughout the country will be accepting application forms for admission in the AIOU.

The applicants will not be required to pay postal charges (registry fee) for this purpose, said a statement issued by AIOU.

The students after depositing admission fee in the designated bank branch can submit the admission form through the relevant post office, along with the bank’s receipt, the statement said.

It was also informed that the new procedure has been adopted on the instructions of AIOU Vice Chancellor Prof Ziaul Qayyum in order to facilitate aspiring students and ensure that the admission forms are not misplaced.

The revised admission’s procedure will be effective from January 15.
