KUST students protest lack of equipment at labs

Source The News

The students of the Kohat University of Science and Technology (KUST) enrolled in the Electrical Engineering Department boycotted classes on Wednesday and staged protest against the administration for not installing equipment at the laboratories.

Talking to The News, third year students of the Electrical Engineering Department said the equipment for the laboratories had been purchased two months ago by the KUST management. However, they alleged that the delay by the administration to install the equipment and establish proper laboratories compelled them to boycott classes since last Monday.

The protesters added that practical work at the laboratories for the engineering students was the mandatory requirement of the Higher Education Commission. They said their registration was delayed due to absence of proper laboratories and it could delay award of degrees to them upon completion of the course.
