When contacted, USPCAS-E at UET Peshawar Director Dr Najeebullah told The Express Tribune he was appointed to the centre due to his remarkable achievements during and after his PhD. Two professor-level faculty members joining USPCAS-E has affected the already existing academic programmes which lack the necessary faculty. While this matches Hassan’s CV perhaps, the official said she was interviewed by a panel which included her close associates, creating doubts over the transparency of the selection process. The qualification and experience requirements advertised by UET included engineering. The official added in the case of the HR manager, UET Deputy Registrar Saima Hassan was appointed although she has an engineering degree and no qualification in human resources.

These include procurement, communication and human resource managers. He said no competitive procedure was followed for the director’s appointment several other UET employees have been given management positions. The condition for these fully funded students upon return is to strengthen Jalozai Campus where Najeebullah is yet to give a lecture. He claimed Najeebullah has no experience of project management and was handed a crucial project by Gillani.Īccording to the official, Najeebullah also violated the requirement of five years of service at UET after completion of a PhD-sponsored by the varsity-in the UK. He said project director Dr Najeebullah, who is a lecturer in the Department of Basic Sciences at UET, was appointed without considering the requirement for the position. However, talking to The Express Tribune, a UET official, requesting anonymity, said former UET vice chancellor Imtiaz Hussain Gillani appointed his associates at lucrative packages. The primary objective is to educate and train the next generation of scientists, engineers and policymakers through innovative academic programmes focused on applied research. The aim is to generate knowledge in the energy sector which can contribute to cost-effective and sustainable solutions to the problems faced by Pakistan.

The five-year (2013-18) $15 million initiative is a partnership between UET Peshawar, National University of Science and Technology (NUST) Islamabad and Arizona State University. The USAID-funded programme offers lucrative packages as part of their investment. Merit has allegedly been violated at University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar as favoured faculty and staff have reportedly been appointed to the US Pakistan Centre for Advanced Studies in Energy (USPCAS-E).
