The 60-year-old record of obtaining maximum marks in the Punjab University annual examination has been broken by Saman Aftab, a student of the PU Political Science Department, after she received 720 marks out of 1000. Talking to Pakistan Today, Saman, who has completed masters in International Relations from PU, said that she had done her bachelors from the PU Institute of Communication Studies (ICS) Saman said, “By the grace of Allah almighty, my total marks are a record in the history of social sciences, which is a great honour for me and my university as well. Our administration is doing a lot in the higher education at PU.”
She said that she would do PhD from the PU, instead of opting for a foreign university as the environment for research at PU was very well-developed. She said further, “The untiring efforts and support of my teachers and family played a big and important role in my success. It is my desire to choose the teaching profession because I want to do something in the field of education.”
