SWABI: Women University Swabi has waived the age limit for enrollment of women students and announced that there will be no age-related restrictions on women seeking admission in any department of the University.
The decision was taken in the 25th meeting of the Academic Council of the University with Vice Chancellor, Shahana Arooj in the chair, said a press release issued here on Saturday.
