  "account": "The Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan has released official lists distinguishing recognized and unrecognized institutions. The commission urges students and parents to confirm universities and campuses' authenticity before applying for admission. Institutions not listed as recognized by the HEC will not have their degrees acknowledged. Furthermore, students are cautioned against enrolling in universities or degree-awarding institutions facing admission bans due to irregularities.\n\nTo verify an institution's status, HEC has provided four distinct lists:\n1. Recognized universities and degree-awarding institutions\n2. Recognized campuses of public and private institutions\n3. Recognized transnational educational institutions in Pakistan\n4. Illegal, fake, and unrecognized institutions\n\nThe lists are as follows:\n- HEC-Recognized Universities and Degree-Awarding Institutions in Pakistan\n- HEC-Recognized Campuses of Public and Private Institutions\n- HEC-Recognized Transnational Educational Institutions in Pakistan\n- HEC-Recognized List of Illegal, Fake, and Unrecognized Institutions\n\nFor more information on scholarships worldwide, students can visit EduNation.",
