Remote Makran district with no local university; students must relocate to Turbat, Quetta, or Karachi
Panjgur is a district in the Makran region of western Balochistan, known for its date orchards and its distance from everything. There is no university in Panjgur. A student who finishes FSc and wants to continue must travel — to the University of Turbat roughly 150 kilometres away, to Quetta, or to Karachi. For most families, that journey, and the cost of living that follows it, is out of reach.
The district's remoteness compounds every other challenge. Internet access is limited and intermittent, which means even finding information about universities, deadlines, and scholarships is harder here than almost anywhere else in Pakistan. Students in Panjgur are not less capable than students in Karachi. They are simply further from the information.
Yet students from Makran have reached LUMS, Habib University, and universities abroad. The Balochistan Government Scholarship and the LUMS NOP exist precisely for students from districts like this one. What is missing is guidance — someone who has navigated the path and can walk a student through it step by step.
Full scholarship — tuition, accommodation, and monthly stipend
Up to Rs 40,000 per semester (tuition support)
50% grant + 50% loan (effectively full support for those who cannot repay)
Full tuition + monthly stipend (varies by scheme)
Full tuition reimbursement at public-sector universities
If you are from Panjgur, the single most important thing is to start early and stay connected. Intermittent internet means you cannot afford to discover a deadline the week it closes. The LUMS NOP and Balochistan Government Scholarship are your strongest pathways — both cover students from Balochistan and both can fund the full cost of attending. Save Daakhla's WhatsApp number and message us as soon as you begin FSc, so we can hold the timeline for you.
Daakhla is just beginning its work across Balochistan's Makran region and has not yet guided a student from Panjgur. The distance from a university does not have to be the distance from your future — the scholarships that fund students from here are open, and we can help you reach them.
