Director DASR Directorate of Advanced Studies and Research Message

Welcome to the Directorate of Advanced Studies and Research (DASR).

The Directorate serves as the central body responsible for overseeing postgraduate education (Level 7 & 8) within the University. As the Secretariat of the Board of Advanced Studies and Research (BASR), DASR is entrusted with ensuring that all postgraduate degree programs, research processes, and academic procedures are conducted in accordance with the University's regulations and the guidelines prescribed by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan.

Our primary objective is to maintain the quality, integrity, transparency, and consistency of postgraduate studies. The Directorate monitors all stages of the research process, including approval of research proposals, supervision arrangements, progress monitoring, thesis evaluation, and conduct of defenses, while ensuring compliance with established academic and ethical standards.

We work closely with academic departments, supervisors, and research scholars to ensure that postgraduate programs are administered efficiently and that all statutory and regulatory requirements are fulfilled in a timely manner. Through effective coordination and oversight, the Directorate seeks to facilitate smooth academic processes and uphold the credibility of postgraduate degrees awarded by the University.

I encourage all the enrolled scholars, supervisors, and academic administrators to familiarize themselves with the relevant regulations, policies, and procedures available through the Directorate and to contribute towards maintaining the highest standards of academic excellence and research integrity.

We remain committed to providing professional support, ensuring procedural transparency, and safeguarding the quality of postgraduate education and research across the University.
