KARACHI: The Sindh College Education Department has launched a Universal Access Number (UAN) service to provide guidance regarding admissions in government colleges.

Sindh Education Minister Syed Sardar Ali Shah inaugurated the UAN number 021-111-002-100 to facilitate admission guidance for intermediate college students as well as support for their parents.

He said that this service aims to make the admission process easier for students. “Now students and their parents will be able to get admission-related guidance from home instead of visiting offices.”

He stated that under the Sindh Electronic Centralised College Admission Programme (SECCAP), the entire system — from application submission to admission confirmation, attendance, examinations, and results — will be interlinked online.

This will reduce reliance on human resources and make record access easier for students, he said.

The minister said that so far, 119,319 applications have been received in Karachi Division, 36,313 in Hyderabad Division, 13,118 in Mirpurkhas Division, 14,601 in Shaheed Benazirabad Division, 15,005 in Larkana Division, and 17,729 in Sukkur Division.
