Karachi and Quetta

We could not confirm a current BS Gender Studies admission notice in either city. Karachi University’s 2026 notice summary mentions Women’s Studies, so check that department’s page directly.

Eligibility

  • You need an intermediate certificate (FA, FSc, ICS or I.Com) or an equivalent such as A-Levels.

  • Minimum marks vary: 50% at UHE, 45% for BZU’s 5th-semester route. Read your target university’s notice.

  • If you hold a BA, BSc or associate degree, ask about 5th-semester entry. PU offers a 5th-semester (2-year) BS and BZU does as well.

  • Women’s universities admit female students only. Co-educational universities such as PU do not restrict by gender in their merit rules.

For more detail, see our BS Gender Studies eligibility criteria guide.

Merit and entry tests

Rules differ. PU’s department page says merit is calculated entirely from academic record, with 20 extra marks for Hafiz-e-Quran. Other universities may add a test or interview. Check how the previous year’s merit moved on our merit lists page.

How to apply

  1. Open the university’s admission portal from the live table above.

  2. Create an account and pick the BS Gender Studies program (check the exact program name).

  3. Enter personal and academic details exactly as on your certificates.

  4. Upload documents. Typical lists include CNIC or B-Form, matric and intermediate results and photographs, but confirm the list in your notice.

  5. Pay the application fee through the method given in the notice.

  6. Submit, save your tracking ID, and watch for merit lists.

Students awaiting results may qualify for provisional admission. For example, LCWU’s Fall 2026 Phase II admitted provisionally on first-year marks.

What you will study

PU’s scheme starts with a base in gender studies, English, computer skills and Pakistan Studies. Later courses cover gender and health, human rights, media, violence, crime and project cycle management. UHE’s 132 credit hours include 30 general, 72 major, 12 interdisciplinary and 12 minor credits, plus an internship and a capstone.

Careers after the degree

UMT lists UN agencies, academia, government and non-governmental development organizations as destinations. Roles include gender focal person in government departments. Outcomes depend on your skills, internships and research.

How to choose a university

  • Compare the program name and curriculum, not only the university’s brand.

  • Check seats and merit trends. PU’s morning program has few seats (65).

  • Compare fees on our BS Gender Studies fee page.

  • Look for internship and fieldwork components.

  • Apply to three to five programs and record each last date.
