HEC

The Higher Education Commission (colloquially known as HEC) is a statutory body formed by the government of Pakistan which was established in 2002 under the Chairmanship of Atta-ur-Rahman. Its main functions are funding, overseeing, regulating and accrediting the higher education institutions in the country. It was established in 1974 as University Grants Commission (UGC) and came into its modern form in 2002 after Atta-ur-Rahman’s reforms, which received international praise. The commission is responsible for formulating higher education policy and quality assurance to meet the international standards as well as providing accrediting academic degrees, development of new institutions and uplift of existing institutions in Pakistan.

In accordance to its agenda HEC organised round the year Intervarsity Sports Championships in almost 33 Sports disciplines in 16 zones across the Pakistan whereas champions of zonal events contest for inter zonal Sports championships to acclaim the overall winner position in their respective Sports.

The Elite Sports Pakistan is in process to get a HEC affiliation to organize the ESP-HEC Intervarsity Esports and other selective sports disciplines championships to commercialize University Sports and generate new revenue streams for the universities through sponsorship, alumni funding and establishment of Merchandising stores.
