HEC launches the the Interim Placement of Fresh PhDs (IPFP) program

IPFP Phase II Batch II. The Higher Education Commission (HEC) launches the the Interim Placement of Fresh PhDs (IPFP) program to create an opportunity for fresh PhDs to obtain academic experience and mentorship, for one year in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), federal/provincial government post-graduate colleges or public sector R&D organizations, prior to their formal entry into the academic job market. The IPFP was established in 2009, and last revised in 2019.
