Quaid-i-Azam University, in its endeavour to admit the most talented students from across Pakistan, had initially decided to make the Higher Education Commission (HEC) Undergraduate Studies Admission Test (USAT) a prerequisite for admission to its BS degree programmes.

However, in view of the limited time available for the admission process, the non-availability of repeated USAT testing opportunities by the Higher Education Commission (HEC), and the prevailing circumstances affecting students across different parts of the country, the University has reviewed the matter in the best interest of prospective applicants, particularly those belonging to far-flung and underserved areas.

Accordingly, the requirement of the HEC Undergraduate Studies Admission Test (USAT) for admission to BS programmes has been waived for the current admission cycle.

Therefore, all prospective candidates are eligible to apply for admission to the BS programmes of Quaid-i-Azam University regardless of whether they have appeared in the HEC USAT or not. Candidates who have appeared in the USAT, whether they have qualified or not, are also eligible to apply.

All other eligibility conditions and admission criteria as prescribed in the University Admission Policy and the relevant programme requirements shall remain unchanged.
