Iran's universities are seeing a lack of students, official of Payamenoor University, Mohammad Hadi Amin Naji said, Mehr news agency reported.

Iran's universities` capacity in bachelor's degree programs level reached some 730,000, while 690,000 students have chosen to study for a bachelor's degree this year.

State-run universities in Iran are under the direct supervision of Iran's Ministry of Science, Research and Technology (for non-medical universities) and Ministry of Health and Medical Education (for medical schools).
