Sir: Recently I saw an advertisement of the University of Sindh in leading newspapers, which was related to the Academic Convocation 2013-2014. Through this advertisement, the university was demanding fees from students who would attend the convocation. It is a very common thing among universities that they demand fees from students for attending convocations. I was surprised to see that the University of Sindh is demanding Rs 1,100 from those students who will get medals. It is quite strange that a student who has done exceedingly well in his/her education has to pay an additional amount of Rs 1,100 for getting a medal. Can anyone from the University of Sindh explain this? MUBASHIR MAHMOOD Via Email
