LLB admissions in Islamabad in October 2026, you are between admission cycles. The Fall 2026 application windows at Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU), International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI), Bahria University and NUST have closed, according to the notices published by the universities. The practical next step is to hold a valid Law Admission Test (LAT) result and watch for the next round of notices. HEC’s registration for the fifth LAT of 2026 was reported open until 20 October 2026, with the test tentatively planned for 15 November 2026.

LLB Admission Deadlines in Islamabad at a Glance

Dates are taken from the universities’ published notices. Deadlines are sometimes extended, so confirm on the university’s own site before relying on any date. Durations are shown as each notice states them, and some notices disagree with one another.

What Is the LAT and Why It Matters for LLB Admission

The Law Admission Test is a compulsory entry test for the five-year LLB programme at universities and colleges recognised by HEC and the Pakistan Bar Council (PBC). Candidates with an HSSC or equivalent 12-year qualification can apply, and students awaiting results are also eligible.

The test carries 100 marks and you need at least 50 to pass. It combines multiple-choice questions with an essay and a personal statement. Registration is done online through the HEC Education Testing Council (ETC) portal, and a saved but unsubmitted application is not considered.

According to HEC’s 2026 calendar, the fourth LAT was held on 6 September. The fifth and final LAT of the year is planned for 15 November, with results scheduled for 24 December. Check the LAT test schedule for updates, and bring your original CNIC, passport or B-form and academic documents to the test centre.

Eligibility for LLB Admission in Islamabad

The baseline for the five-year LLB is Intermediate (HSSC) or an equivalent such as A-levels, plus a passing LAT score. Universities then add their own merit rules. Hamdard University Islamabad, for example, states Intermediate or A-level with a minimum of 50%, an entry test and an interview. Hamdard accepts applicants from any discipline.

Each university sets its own merit formula and seat limits, so a LAT pass alone does not guarantee admission. The detailed LLB eligibility criteria page explains the usual requirements.

Five Year LLB vs Three-Year LLB: Check Recognition First

The Supreme Court of Pakistan set 31 December 2018 as the last date for admission to the three-year LLB, replacing it with the five-year programme and introducing the LAT. The PBC has also said that its rules make the five-year degree the route to enrolment as an advocate.

Some institutions in Islamabad still advertise three-year or externally awarded law degrees, including programmes linked to foreign universities. Before you pay any fee, confirm with the Pakistan Bar Council and HEC that the programme is recognised and that its graduates can enrol with a bar council.

How to Apply for LLB Admission in Islamabad

1. Register for the LAT on the HEC ETC portal and pass with at least 50 marks.
2. Watch the university’s admission notice for the programme, last date and fee challan.
3. Apply through the university’s online portal and upload scanned documents and the fee receipt as the notice requires.
4. Appear in the university’s own test or interview, if the notice asks for one.
5. Check the university website for merit lists. QAU’s notice says no individual notifications are sent.

Keep an eye on the LLB admissions page for new notices as they appear.
