Each university has a Controller of Examinations responsible for issuing roll numbers, setting papers, arranging centers, marking, and declaring results. Affiliated colleges send their students to appear in the degree exams of the university to which they are affiliated, such as University of Punjab, University of Karachi, or University of Peshawar.
