Male Female

Well, I had to wait for a long hour for my degree attestation at the HSE Islamabad office. I went to attest my degree recently at the Higher Education Commission Islamabad. My experience was not good, and I felt like I was in hell. I waited for so long because there were long queues, and everyone from Pakistan wants to go abroad for study. There were a lot of students waiting for their turn. I sat on the benches that are placed for the applicants. After that, when I felt hungry, I went to eat at a hotel nearby. We ordered biryani and pulao. I ate this food with my colleague. While I was waiting for my turn, he was reflecting on the system of our country and the process of verification of our credentials, which is not very good service. They are not managing it very well because they are playing with the lives of many students. It is a very usual process that you have to wait for one to two days just to get your degree verified. So I think it should be done better.
