Entry Test and Merit

CUI uses the NTS NAT (and GAT for graduate programmes) as its admission test. The test can be taken at an NTS centre nationwide or at on-campus sittings arranged by CUI; campuses such as Sahiwal and Vehari run free NTS preparatory classes. The official weightage of NAT versus academic marks was not stated on the pages reviewed, so see the programme entry on the portal and our COMSATS entry test (NTS NAT) page for the current formula.

Fee and Scholarships

The official fee page (last updated for the Fall 2025 session, with a note that rates are revised in later semesters) lists per-semester undergraduate fees of Rs. 146,000 for Computer Sciences (Rs. 139,000 tuition plus Rs. 7,000 registration), Rs. 151,500 for Engineering, Rs. 167,000 for Architecture and Design, Rs. 160,500 for Pharmacy and Rs. 135,000 for other programmes, plus a one-time admission fee of Rs. 22,000 and a Rs. 10,000 degree fee on completion.
