Thanks to Sarah Suleman (Head of Quality Enhancement Cell) and her colleague Christopher Naeem (Data Analyst), the Fall 2024 Profile for Forman Christian College (A Chartered University) is now available, based on a September 30 “freeze date” which captured the number of faculty employed and students enrolled as of that date.
According to the demographic data provided in the Profile, 48 percent of our university students are female (for graduate programs, the percentage increases to 74 percent). Some 10 percent of our college students and 13 percent of our university students are from Pakistan’s minority Christian community, bringing the total number to 1,093 including 350 from the college and 743 enrolled in the university. Although small as a total percentage, 59 of our university students also come from the Hindu, Sikh or Kalash communities, further highlighting the diversity of our institution. While an overwhelming majority of our students are from Punjab, we have representation from each of Pakistan’s other provinces as well.
The figures are encouraging: Total enrollment at FCCU has now reached 9,324, exceeding 9,000 for the first time ever; of that number, 3,560 are studying at the Intermediate (College) level while 5,764 are enrolled in the University.
The number of faculty at Forman is slightly more than 400, with 126 teaching at the College level and 278 at the University level. Of the 404 members of faculty currently employed at Forman, 43 percent are female, and 57 percent are male. As regards to level of education, 172 of our 278 University faculty have PhDs, 69 of them from foreign countries. A further 21 of our college faculty also have PhDs.
