Balob Teachers College enrolls at least 2000 students, but for this year 2019 the school is yet to get the list of names of students on HECAS. According to the principal, registration of new students was delayed and is very slow as they are yet to get the list of non-school leavers.

The college had sent its quota to the Education Department. However, to date, they are yet to get the list of HECAS students.
