Quetta – Students at Balochistan University of Information Technology, Engineering and Management Sciences (BUITEMS) have brought pressing issues to light, demanding action from university officials.

At a recent press conference, student representative Haseebullah voiced concerns about the lack of basic facilities and rising costs, which he said are “making it increasingly difficult for students to focus on their studies.”

High fees and soaring food prices at the university canteen are creating financial strain, according to Haseebullah. “Students are already stretched thin; reducing costs here would be a significant relief,” he stated.

Students also raised concerns about the lack of drinking water facilities, with limited water coolers outside classrooms. “The administration needs to ensure drinking water access outside every block,” another student remarked, emphasizing that the issue becomes critical during peak summer months.

With winter approaching, students called for gas heaters in classrooms, noting that harsh temperatures impact their ability to study comfortably. Additionally, they demanded an increase in scholarship options to support financially challenged students. “Without scholarships, some of us are forced to take on extra jobs,” a student said.

Students urged the administration to address these needs promptly, ensuring BUITEMS offers an environment conducive to academic success.
