NUST and 1Link Pvt Ltd sign agreement to facilitate NUSTians and aspiring students

The NUST management continuously strives to facilitate all its stakeholders – in particular the current and aspiring students of the university. In the same spirit, a step has been taking by NUST to ease students in depositing their tuition fee, as well as help applicants to the NUST Entrance Test (NET) to deposit their dues easily from anywhere in the world.

On March 17, 2021, an agreement was signed between NUST and 1Link Pvt Ltd, at the university’s Islamabad campus. The agreement was signed by Mr Najeeb Agrawalla, CEO 1Link Pvt Ltd, and Mr Shaikh Muhammad Khurshid Alam, Director Finance NUST.

This agreement will bring great benefits to all NUST students as well as new applicant/aspiring students. Once the system is implemented, NUST students/applicants and their parents will be able to deposit tuition fee and dues, or the NET fee from anywhere around the globe, to NUST’s accounts through the 1Link system, which is connected with the network of all 36 banks operating in Pakistan. It will be possible to make these transactions through different means, including Debit Cards, Credit Cards, Internet/online banking, mobile apps and over-the-counter, at very nominal charges. In addition, a deposit of the fee through the 1Link system will be processed in real-time without any delay.

This milestone agreement is in line with the national policy to promote digital payments, and to have an all-inclusive financial ecosystem where transactions are made easier for all.
