Top Public Sector Universities

The first option to most students is always public sector universities because of their cheap rates and high academic status. Some of the most prestigious institutions that provide BS Pakistan Studies include:

• Punjab University

Important Universities In Private Sector

At the small universities, students have a choice of going to a private university where they will be offered with smaller classes, flexibility in schedules as well as up to date teaching facilities.  

• Greenwich University
• Superior University
• University of Lahore

These are some of the institutes which have updated curricula in BS Pakistan Studies incorporating digital research tools, project-based learning and interactive lectures. Universities in the private sector could also have weekend classes or evening classes hence become convenient to working students. Even though the tuition fee is much higher than that of the public universities, the institutions often offer merit-based and need-based scholarships as a motivating factor in attracting bright students.

Academic Resources & Facilities

The main benefit of attending a well reputed university is the availability of good facilities and resources. The majority of the universities providing BS Pakistan Studies have their own libraries and archives, computer laboratories which enable students to carry out research and analyze data. The institutions are also associated with a lot of think tanks, NGOs and government organizations which expose the students to the actual policy problem. Universities also invite seminars as well as study tours and lectures by historians, diplomats and policy makers which enrich the learning experience, making the classroom knowledge more related to reality.

Admission Process & Merit

BS Pakistan Studies programs are usually entrusted to academic merit in order to admit a student. The candidates are required to have undertaken intermediate education (FA/FSc/ICS/A-Levels or similar) achieving no less than 45-50% marks. There are universities that administer their own entry tests or interviews, whereas others are based only on the past academic performance. Public universities have merit lists that are published in several phases until the seats are filled whereas in private universities, there can be rolling admissions. Having good academic records and early applications gives good opportunities of getting to the best universities.

Career Prospects on Completion of Graduate Program

Some of them work in government ministries, think tanks, NGOs and media organizations. The program is also a great base to competitive exams like CSS, PMS as it includes the history of politics and constitution of Pakistan in detail. Students of higher education have an opportunity to study MPhil or PhD in Pakistan Studies, International Relations, or Political Science. A university degree in a good university helps to increase credibility and facilitates both national and international opportunities.
