Admissions Closing in Early July 2026

These deadlines fall within the first week of July. Apply immediately if you are targeting any of these.

Admissions Closing Mid-to-Late July 2026

Entry-Test-Based Admissions Active in July 2026

Some universities admit students through staggered entry-test rounds rather than a single application deadline. These are active during July 2026 but follow their own internal schedules:

•      NUST: NET computer-based testing has been running from June 24, 2026 at the Islamabad campus. Paper-based NET sittings are scheduled for July 19-21, 2026 in Karachi and July 21-22, 2026 in Gilgit. Confirm your specific round and venue on the NUST admissions portal.

•      LUMS: Undergraduate admission decisions for the cycle that closed earlier in spring are being issued on a rolling basis through July 31, 2026. This is a decision window, not a new application window; check LUMS directly if you missed the original deadline.

•      COMSATS: All campuses require a valid NTS NAT score (or the COMSATS-administered equivalent) alongside the application, with a minimum 50 percent qualifying score.

How to Use This List Safely

Treat every deadline here as a starting point, not a final word. Before you submit any form or pay any fee:

•      Open the university's own admission notice and compare it against the date listed here

•      Check whether your specific program or campus has a different deadline than the university's general intake

•      Confirm the required entry test (NAT, NET, ECAT, or a university-specific test) and its passing score

•      Save the application confirmation and fee receipt, since incomplete submissions are usually not entertained

E-E-A-T Reinforcement

IlmiWorld tracks Pakistani university admission notices daily for students in Punjab and across the country. Every entry on this list is checked against either an official university admission notice or a recognized live admissions tracker before publication. Where a deadline could not be independently confirmed, it has been left out rather than guessed.
