* The National University of Sciences and Technology is among the institutions that don't provide data on acceptance rates. This might happen because the university has programs where applicants only need to meet admission requirements to enroll and don't necessarily compete with others.
We estimate the above acceptance rate based on admission statistics of closely ranked nearby universities with similar research profiles that do publish such data.
Acceptance rate & Admissions
| Admissions Requirements | Undergraduate: Minimum 60% aggregate marks each in Matric and in FSC (excluding NCC marks) equivalent exams. No deviation in this regard is allowed. Postgraduate: sixteen years of schooling or 4 years (130 credit hours) calculated after FA/FSC/A Level mandatory for admission in MS/M Phil programme leading to PhD and MBA. The previous (terminal) degree or academic transcript on the basis of which applicant is eligible to apply for MS Engineering/IT/ M Phil leading to PhD must be PEC/HEC/PM&DC (as applicable) recognized with a minimum CGPA of 2.50 of 4.00 (3.50 of 5.00) or 1st Division (60% marks). |
