Now that we have so many fields that we can pursue, but if there are still people opting for medical, then they like it. If not that, then they are indeed getting emotionally blackmailed. Too close to heart? Sorry. Anyway, if you chose medical, you would have added Aga Khan University (AKU) to the potential list.

Choosing AKU

So if you want to enroll in Aga Khan, here is a list of pointers you need to know to complete your admission process. And trust me, if you take them into account the whole time, the process will be as easy as pie.

So here we are on a fine day standing in front of AKU, well, virtually. The idea is to gather all the information for you when we hear or instead read the words, ‘transparent merit-based admissions processes.’ It brings a smile to our face. Because what do we love more than chai? A transparent system!

Some General Criteria

And who would not? If our audience is getting admission in a field they love, at the university they love, we would happily endorse that. Coming back to the topic. We were discussing the admission process. The process is merit-based and varies according to programs. But let’s pay attention to the standard criteria/requirements.

It would help if you had fluent English, written and oral, to get past the coursework. So you cannot compromise on that. You also need a spectacular past academic performance. Critical reasoning and leadership potential are also crucial if you are opting for AKU. Well, technically, these skills are essential anywhere you go, so it does not have to be limited to this university, but since they announced it, we mentioned it.

Eligibility

Do you have all these in check? Perfect. Let’s move on!

The next step is to apply. I mean, that goes without saying. Pay attention to the eligibility requirements mentioned there.

Let’s list them down:

• HSSC in the pre-medical group must have a minimum of 70%
• O-Level with at least six subjects including English, biology, chemistry, and physic and HSSC of minimum 70%
• O-Level with at least six subjects, including English, biology, chemistry, and physics and A-Level with a minimum B grade in three subjects, including biology, chemistry, and physics.
• PMDC minimum requirement 550 for each subject (do check the website for the updated criterion).

The Actual Process

Once you clear that step, you will be invited for a test. If you submit an equivalent test score such as SAT I or MCAT, you don’t have to sit for the examination.

The next stage in the process interviews. Now, this is important. There will be two interviews that all shortlisted candidates will have to attend. They will also have to submit one more form; it’s called application form II. Here you can delve into detail about your academic achievements, interests, extra-curricular, etc. At this stage, you will also add two reference letters but remember they will have to follow a specified format.

Not to forget, the candidates will have to submit their PMDC results. Don’t delay submitting, or you may lose the chance to study in one of the glorified medical institutes.

All these submissions, tests, and interviews, will help the examiners prepare a comprehensive report on each candidate. So be diligent and best of luck.

To study business in Pakistan, there are indeed many options. And if in that you are choosing IBA, LUMS, or LSE, well, you are in luck. Because we, foreseeing your need, bring to you all the information you seek for your admissions. So hang tight and prepare to break records from LSE because if you prepare the way we guide you, you are bound to secure a place in the university.

Education Requirements

First things first. Get your documents in check. Make sure that your educational degrees i.e., your A levels or FSc result, are in order. An important note to A-level candidates: they need to prepare an equivalence from IBCC for both their O-levels and A-levels results. For the intermediate level, both candidates, FSc and A-level, need to have more than 60%. Moreover, non-FSc candidates also need to keep this in mind that they should have had at least eight subjects in O levels and 3 in A-levels.

That time of the year

As far as admissions go for undergraduate, there is only one intake every year. And since the fall 2020 classes have already begun, it tells you that you need not wait for September to know admission requirements. You can still get admission in the year 2021 if you are diligent. The admission process begins in January, and it is not far away. Get started on your IBCC equivalencies, and the time will go by in seconds.

The Deadlines…

So anyway, application forms are available from January 1. They need to be submitted by June 30. Between July 13 and August 13, you will have your entrance test and interview in case you are successful with your application. Fair or not, but LSE has announced on its website that it will be conducting both on zoom. By mid-August, the university issues ID cards, and a few days later, the classes start.

So did you get all that?

Let’s go through it all once again:

Your FSc result which is 60% and above.

Your A-level result which should be equivalent to 60% and above (IBCC Equivalent).

IBCC equivalence means a good 1 to 2 months there.

After that, keep all of the scanned copies for the online admission portal.

Prepare for the entrance test on the side as well.

And be on time with the deadlines.

All done? Great. If you are just as responsible while admissions are taking place, there is no stopping you from getting admitted to LSE, your dream institution, that is, if it is your dream institution.
