The University of Engineering and Technology has announced a temporary shift to online classes at its New Campus in Kala Shah Kaku. The decision was taken due to the closure of the KSK Toll Plaza interchange, which has disrupted access to the area.
According to officials, the situation has made it difficult for students and faculty to reach the campus. As a result, UET decided to move all scheduled classes online for the day. The step aims to avoid inconvenience and ensure safety.
University spokesperson Dr. Tanveer Qasim explained that the campus entrances are currently blocked. This blockage is expected to cause serious travel delays. He said that continuing physical classes under these conditions would create problems for both students and teachers.
The administration of UET stated that the decision was made after carefully reviewing the situation. The goal is to maintain academic continuity without risking safety. Online classes will allow students to continue their studies without interruption.
Officials clarified that this change applies only to the New Campus in Kala Shah Kaku. The main campus and other campuses of UET will continue regular on-campus classes. Students attending those locations are expected to follow their normal schedules.
Students have been advised to join their classes through official online platforms. The university has already shared instructions to help students access their lectures. Faculty members are also prepared to conduct sessions online as planned.
The administration has urged students to stay updated through official announcements. Any further changes will be communicated through verified university channels. Students are advised not to rely on unofficial information.
This move highlights the university’s flexible approach in dealing with unexpected situations. By shifting to online learning, UET aims to reduce disruption while keeping students engaged in their academic activities.
Authorities have not yet confirmed how long the interchange closure will continue. However, they assured that decisions will be made based on the latest developments. The university will continue to monitor the situation closely.
