An Undergraduate Admission Test (UAT) will now be required for university admissions, according to a new requirement set by Pakistan’s Higher Education Commission (HEC).
In order to be eligible for university entrance, intermediate school graduates must receive at least 50% of the possible points on this exam.
The seven categories that the UAT will cover are engineering, medicine, computer science, and commerce. July is the planned month for the tests.
Up to June 30th, prospective candidates can apply for the UAT via the HEC website. Through the use of a similar test, admissions processes at different colleges will be streamlined and applicants will receive a uniform evaluation.
The HEC’s ruling highlights the significance of this exam for all students pursuing higher education, emphasising how crucial it is to upholding uniform academic standards across the country.
