Punjab Winter Vacations Update: No Further Extension, Beware of Fake Notifications
As of January 7, 2024, the Higher Education Department of Punjab has not issued any official notification regarding the extension of winter vacations in colleges. A circulating fake notification, dated January 4, falsely claims an extension until January 14. Please note that this notification lacks authenticity, causing confusion among students, teachers, and parents.
The most recent legitimate notification from the Higher Education Department, dated December 30, 2023, states that all public and private colleges and universities in Punjab are scheduled to reopen on January 10, 2024.
