Author: DNA

ISLAMABAD: The Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) has started the process of ‘sending books’ to 7-lakh students enrolled in the Matric to PhD level programmes, for semester Spring, 2017. The timely mailing of course books to students was a big challenge especially with the increasing enrolment this year, however it was undertaken in collaboration with Pakistan Post and the process was started on a fast-track basis so as to complete it in the scheduled time, said Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Shahid Siddiqui.

The process of mailings books had been expedited in order to give sufficient time to the students to submit their course-assignments. In the first phase, a list of twenty thousand students enrolled in the Matric programme was received by the mailing department and the books are being dispatched to them, th000000e students will receive their books in the next 10 days. Books along with the allied material of FA and BA programmes would be dispatched next week. Efforts are being made that the whole mailing process is completed at the earliest, the official added. A new computerised tracking system has been introduced, facilitating its thousands of students to check the books’ mailing status. The new computerised tracking system has recently been developed.
