Who Can Apply? DVM Eligibility

The common baseline is FSc Pre-Medical or an equivalent (A-Levels with Biology, Chemistry, Physics) with roughly 60%. Students awaiting results can often apply on first-year marks. Beyond that, each university sets its own rules:

  • UVAS: the 2026 admission notice puts the age limit at 25 on the last application date. Earlier UVAS FAQs said 23, so check the current prospectus.

  • Riphah: 60% in SSC and HSSC, with merit split 70% academics and 30% entry test.

  • UCP: 60% in FSc Pre-Medical, an admission test, and merit weighted 10% Matric, 45% Intermediate, 45% test.

  • Ziauddin: FSc Pre-Medical or O/A-Levels subject to equivalence, and overseas applications are welcome.

How Merit Is Calculated

For UVAS 2026, the reported weightage is Matric 30% and Intermediate 70%, with a processing fee of Rs 1,500, and no separate entry test. Private universities usually add a test.

How to Apply

  1. Download the current prospectus from the university's official site.

  2. Check your eligibility and age on the last submission date.

  3. Fill the online form and upload your CNIC or B-Form and educational documents.

  4. Pay the fee through the generated challan.

  5. Watch the first merit list and keep documents ready.

Check PVMC Accreditation First

A veterinary degree is only as useful as the university's approval. The Pakistan Veterinary Medical Council (PVMC) publishes its list of accredited institutions and can direct universities to halt intake. It did this to the University of Poonch, Rawalakot, for Fall 2025, pending a formal review. 

DVM Admissions in Lahore

Lahore is the country's main DVM hub: UVAS, Riphah College of Veterinary Sciences and UCP all admit here.

DVM Admissions in Karachi

Ziauddin University's Faculty of Veterinary and Animal Sciences runs a five-year DVM at its Education City campus. Sindh Agriculture University (Tando Jam) and SBBIUVAS (Sakrand) are options in the province.

DVM Admissions in Islamabad

We could not verify DVM seats in Islamabad itself at the time of writing. Riphah's veterinary college is listed in Lahore. Students in the capital region often apply to Lahore, Peshawar (University of Agriculture) or Mardan (Abdul Wali Khan University). Verify current availability with each campus.

Missed the 2026 Deadline?

Don't panic. Most public universities admit once a year, so the practical steps are: (1) check private universities still accepting applications, (2) ask whether your target has a late round or spring intake, (3) keep your documents and FSc marks ready for the 2027 cycle.
