"Under this scheme, as per SOPs, students are granted a fee concession ranging from 50% to 100%," he added. Professor Mahmood further elaborated that under the Matric Free Education Plan, the university offered free matriculation education to children from the former FATA, Balochistan, and Gilgit-Baltistan regions. It is worth mentioning that students can benefit from these financial assistance schemes by contacting their respective regional offices, obtaining the required forms, and applying for financial aid. The students will not be eligible for fee concessions without submitting the application form.
