In a given year, there are two rounds of admissions. The first round consists of yearly admissions, whilst the second round consists of admissions twice a year.
Each university has its own set of admission standards. There are various sorts of admittance tests for postgraduate admissions:
National Testing Service (NTS): NTS is a National Testing Service that is necessary for entrance to bachelor's programmes. The test is divided into several sections, including analytical assessment, logical reasoning, and general knowledge. The test is divided into sections based on the type of degree.
University Test : MCAT/NTS examinations are accepted by the majority of universities. Students who have not taken any of the graduate tests are then needed to take the specific university test. The exam often includes logical, analytical, and field-related questions. Some universities exclusively consider their admissions test, but others allow a general assessment test.
After the admission process is completed, every university displays its merit list. The merit is based on the previous academic records, entry test, and the interview (if any) given at the time of admission. There can be various merit lists according to the seat availability of the public and private sector universities.
The fee structure differs for several universities. The private sector has a relatively higher fee structure than the public sector which is divided in a quarterly manner at most universities.
