The Higher Education Commission (HEC) will provide coaching to 6,000 candidates of GRE/TOEFL in collaboration with the United States Education Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP), public sector universities and private sector trainers and firms. The training is part of Talent Farming component of the US-Pakistan Knowledge Corridor.
The coaching will be provided in various cities of the country to short listed candidates intending to seek admission in PhD studies at US universities under the US-Pakistan Knowledge Corridor. HEC is also exploring the possibility of adoption of virtual technology based trainings to facilitate learning of the candidates at their own place. Candidates seeking admissions in PhD studies at US universities need to qualify GRE/TOEFL tests so as to qualify the basic admission criteria.
Talent Farming is scheduled four times a year under "Call for GRE Training" at Islamabad and four provincial capitals through three programme components, namely orientation, workshop about higher education in the US, and Five-Week GRE Training. Furthermore, during the current fiscal year, GRE training is underway at University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, which is attended by candidates from four universities within Faisalabad; while, the training sessions have also been started at two other universities, namely University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Muzaffarabad, and Mirpur University of Science & Technology, Mirpur, Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
