Reviewed by Sajid ur Rehman— MSc Physics candidate, University of MünsterLast updated 20 July 2026
The HEC (Higher Education Commission) is Pakistan's body that attests university degrees and transcripts. For German university applications, HEC attestation authenticates your higher-education documents, complementing IBCC attestation of school certificates.
Why it matters for applicants from Pakistan, India & Bangladesh
Since Pakistan has no APS office, HEC + IBCC attestation plus uni-assist is the verification route Pakistani applicants use for German universities.
