support of my parents, family and friends that I am at this stage,
without their prayers and support I would not consider myself to

tribute to all my teachers from my college days and specially the
Professors in masters degree; and all other teachers and
personnel attach to this program in PIDE to provide us best of

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
I have worked as internee in Higher Education Commission for eight weeks i.e. from 11th
July to 20th August, 2011. I opted to have internship in HEC and specifically in Finance
Department as the department is primarily involved with financial issues of the
organization and as my field of interest is also finance. HEC is dealing with monetary
issues of the organization and of the HEIs (Higher Education Institutes) all the time and to
me it was a great experience to work in HEC.
The Higher Education Commission has been set up by The Government of Pakistan to
facilitate the development of indigenous universities to be world class centers of
education, research and development. Through facilitating this process, the HEC intends
to play its part in spearheading the building of a knowledge-based economy in Pakistan.
HEC provides the services to strengthen the HEIs, access of Higher Education, Quality of
Education, Research Enhancement, Faculty & staff development, relevance with the
economy. HEC also provide funds to public as well as private sector institutions for the
infrastructure
development,
faculty

3.2 RECOMMENDATIONS
HEC should have multi-dimensional response strategy; means
HEC should able to address each of the weakness in better and
systematic way and should get maximum of benefit from each of
the available opportunities. Also HEC should have close eye on the
issues they face and there should be proper mechanism for issue
identification and how to deal with that issue.
Should have multi-dimensional Response by:
4. CONCLUSION
The basic aim of this internship was to implement the knowledge I
have gained during the MBA program in organization and gain
practical experience of working on projects. By the grace of
Almighty Allah I have achieved what I aim to get from that
internship. This was very pleasant experience for me and I got to
learn the government organization structure and how the work is
being done in government organization. Also I got opportunity to
implement the concepts I gathered in different courses I studied in
MBA, during the internship. And by working with highly
experienced personnel in finance department and throwing in my
knowledge that I gained during MBA helped me in building my
confidence on my skills and knowledge. In short the internship and
this MBA degree evolved a new motivation in me and now I am
able to look the things in holistic way.
By the SWOT analysis I performed for the HEC, I concluded that
overall HEC has improved his standards in past few years but still
they are lagging in many fields. Such as still many colleges that are
producing graduates are not under their monitoring, also still they
are not able to build strong links between universities and
industries, universities and the communities and also between the
universities.
There are number of open opportunities available for HEC to grab
them and improve the performance. HEC should have multidimensional response strategy; means HEC should able to address
each of the weakness in better and systematic way and should get
maximum benefit from the available opportunities.
