He submitted the matter to Vice-Chancellor IUB, Engr. Prof. Dr. Athar Mahboob, after scrutinising applications.

The VC formed a Special Crisis Committee to examine the nature of applicants and varsity expenses before suggesting a fee reduction of 10 to 50 percent for 2,245 disadvantaged students.

VC Engr. Prof. Dr. Athar Mahboob authorised the fee reduction earlier this week in a notification.
