In response to the severe heatwave forecasted by the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), the Punjab Government has announced a change in the operational hours of colleges across the province. The heatwave, expected to grip Lahore and most districts of Punjab from May 21 to May 27, has prompted this proactive measure.
Punjab College Morning Timing
The Punjab Higher Education Department has issued a notification detailing the revised schedule. From May 21 to May 31, colleges in both public and private sectors will commence their morning (first) shift from 7:30 am, concluding at 11:30 am from Mondays to Thursdays and Saturdays, and at 11:00 am on Fridays.
Punjab College Second Shift Timing (Lahore)
For the evening (second) shift, medical colleges, irrespective of being public or private, will operate from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm from Mondays to Saturdays. This strategic move aims to ensure the safety and well-being of students during the predicted heatwave period.
