The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has issued an important clarification after a fake notification regarding the LLB program began circulating widely on social media. The commission confirmed that the viral document is forged and does not represent any official policy or decision.
According to the HEC, the fake letter falsely claims that the five-year LLB program has been reduced to four years for currently enrolled students. It also misleadingly states that students will become eligible to appear in the Law Graduate Assessment Test (Law-GAT) after completing their fourth year.
The commission has categorically rejected these claims, stating that no such notification has been issued. HEC emphasized that the document is fabricated and advised students, universities, and parents not to believe or share the misleading information.

The HEC further reminded the public that all academic policies, degree regulations, and Law-GAT requirements are announced only through its official website and verified social media accounts. Any notification circulating on WhatsApp or other social media platforms without official confirmation should be treated with caution.
The commission urged students to verify every important announcement before acting on it, especially those related to admissions, degree duration, examinations, and eligibility criteria. Sharing unverified information can create unnecessary confusion among students and educational institutions.
At present, the five-year LLB program remains the recognized professional law degree in Pakistan under the existing academic framework. Likewise, the Law-GAT eligibility criteria remain unchanged unless officially revised and announced by the HEC.
