Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) is considered one of those regions in the country that have a laudable literacy rate. The students of this region have to travel to different cities for higher education, especially for medical and technology related degrees on the reserved seats at various institutions all over the country. The whole region of GB has no medical or engineering college. During this time of the year, students struggle for admissions to their desired educational institutions. Unfortunately, the website of the provincial education department has neither been updated nor has any necessary information for students. From getting the nomination form to its submission, students have to travel from various parts of the country to Gilgit city. Travelling through roads and flights, which are the common ways of transportation in GB are not only expensive for the young students but also inaccessible due to weather conditions. The inaccessibility every year leads to the loss of a full academic year for hundreds of students of GB.

The newly elected government of PML-N in GB had promised the masses that it would spend a good amount of money on educational facilities. Now it is time to update all the facilities so that the process of acquiring education becomes easier for youngsters. By updating the requisite information like merit lists and number of reserved seats at various medical and engineering colleges of the country, the concerned authorities can make the education department's online portal a useful facility for students.
