The Virtual University, Pakistan’s first University based completely on modern Information and Communication Technologies, was established by the Government as a public sector, not-for-profit institution with a clear mission: to provide extremely affordable world class education to aspiring students all over the country.
Using free-to-air satellite television broadcasts and the Internet, the Virtual University allows students to follow its rigorous programs regardless of their physical locations. It thus aims at alleviating the lack of capacity in the existing universities while simultaneously tackling the acute shortage of qualified professors in the country.
By identifying the top Professors of the country, regardless of their institutional affiliations, and requesting them to develop and deliver hand-crafted courses, the Virtual University aims at providing the very best courses to not only its own students but also to students of all other universities in the country.
The Virtual University of Pakistan holds a Federal Charter, making its degrees recognized and accepted all over the country as well as overseas.
The University opened its virtual doors in 2002 and in a short span of time its outreach has reached over sixty cities of the country with more than a hundred associated institutions providing infrastructure support to the students. Pakistani students residing overseas in several other countries of the region are also enrolled in the University’s programs.

VU is good option. but there are some real problems for those who have not enough time to study and are not self sufficient in studies. Full day study is required, and those with jobs can merely pass.
As VU is getting tougher and tougher. VU is setting its standard among others arc rivals. So in that students also have to work double hard.
But VU must also reckon that students of far farlong areas have not facilitated well for studies. Physical medium is yet have many benefits which must be compromised by VU.
VU must adopt a middle way, in which student can adopt a study policy of his own.
VU exam system is experimented a lot. I think there should be standard Exam center at District levels for VU exams, with UPS and AC service for all.
and VU must not make study a difficult process, which it is doing right now.
Hope VU is progressing in right way.

banchod university hay chutiya bananay ka aadda hay VU….is se acha tu brothel centre main ja girls admission le lo ma li loriyo….
There is NO COORDINATION BETWEEN INSTRUCTORS. ALL INSTRUCTORS GIVE SAME DATE AND TIME FOR UPLOADING ASSIGNMENTS OR TAKING ONLINE QUIZ ETC. BY DOING SO, THE WEB SITE OF VIRTUAL UNIV. REMAINS BUSY AND MANY STUDENTS GET LOWER GRADES ON ACCOUNT OF BUSY WEB SITE, QUESTION INTERFACE, LOWEST SPEED OF WEB SITE. SOME ONE SHOULD MUST THINK OF IT. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT WAPDA IS PLAYING A VERY BAD ROLE IN DESTRUCTION OF ECONOMY OF PAKISTAN AND DESTROYING THE CAREERS OF STUDENTS OF VU. VU STUDY NEEDS INTERNET AND COMPUTER IN ALL CASES. BUT WHEN EVER A STUDENT SETS MIND TO SIT FOR STUDY, WAPDA SHUTS DOWN THE ELECTRICITY AND STUDENTS CAN NOT STUDY PROPERLY.
I WOUOLD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT ATLEAST 10 % TO 15 % ADDITIONAL MARKS SHOULD BE GRANTED TO ALL STUDENTS OF VU
