Universities across Punjab are witnessing a sharp decline in student admissions, with figures dropping by as much as 30% this academic year. Education experts attribute the downturn to rising tuition fees, economic challenges, and a growing preference for foreign or online education opportunities.
Officials warn that the trend could impact the financial stability of several institutions and reduce the talent pool in the province. Efforts are underway to introduce scholarships and flexible payment plans to attract more students and reverse the decline.
