Admissions in University of Karachi are given according to merit. There is no Discretionary Quota for admissions. However, certain seats are reserved for Children of University Teachers and Employees. For reserved seats also, merit is the only criterion.

ADMISSIONS ON MERIT SEATS:-

As experienced, since the number of applicants is usually much higher than the number of available seats under the University rules, the applicants have been divided into three categories i.e. K, S and P.

1. Category "K" comprises those applicants who have passed their Secondary School Certificate (SSC), Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and Graduation or equivalent examination from educational institutions situated in Karachi and also recognized by the University or affiliated with the University of Karachi.

 

1.   Category "S" comprises those applicants who have passed at least one of the S.S.C., H.S.C and Graduation examinations from a recognized educational institution in the Province of Sindh (excluding Karachi).

1.   Category "P" comprises those applicants who have passed at least one of the S.S.C., H.S.C and Graduation examinations from a recognized educational institution outside the Province of Sindh.

 

Preference in admissions is given to "K" category candidates. In case seats are left over, "S" category candidates are considered. If seats are still available, then consideration, in turn, is given to "P" category candidates.

The above mentioned criterion of categories is strictly followed for admissions in the University.
