Karachi University Academic Council has decided to restore the three-year BSc, BA, BCom (honours) and two-year MA, MSc and MCom programs with effect from the academic year 2012.
However, the four-year BS (bachelor of studies) program of 8 semesters which the KU introduced in 2007 on the directives of the Higher Education Commission (HEC) would be retained as well and, as such, this program and the BSc, BA and BCom (Hons) programs of 6 semesters would run concurrently and the students would have the option to choose any of them.
