Admission Criteria

Iqra University invites applications for admission in its various undergraduate and postgraduate programs twice a year, in the Spring and Fall Semesters. However, admissions in certain programs are on an annual basis as authorized by the relevant accreditation body of the program. Highlights of the requirements and process are as follows:

1. The admissions requirements of various programs under the departments at IU differ on account of requirements and criteria set by the accreditation bodies.  The admissions process commences with the initiation of an email from the campus Admissions Office to the HoDs offering programs in their respective departments to provide the available seats for the new admissions cycle.
2. The HoDs respond to the admission office with the available number of seats in the specific program based on the following factors, but not limited to:
   •  The number of seats authorised by the accreditation body (if any).
   • The number of faculty to keep the student-teacher ratio (STR) at the optimal level.
   • The availability of infrastructure and required space (e.g., classrooms, labs, lounges, and other students’ spaces).
   •  Number of students graduating/passing out in that semester.
3.  Upon receipt of data about the available number of seats for each program, the admission office sets the target in the Admission Portal and starts entertaining the applications.
4.  The applications received are vetted against the admission criteria for each program and only those candidates who meet the criteria are entertained for form submission.
5. After the forms’ submission, the process of entry test and interviews (where required) is followed following the specific requirements of these programs.
6.  Finally, the merit list is prepared and uploaded on the portal for the information of applicants.
