Admission Information
The University of Baltistan, Skardu runs two intakes: Fall for all undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and Spring for selected ones. Based on the university’s published schedule, the Fall 2026 application window would have closed around the end of August 2026 with classes under way from mid-September, so as of October 2026 the Fall cycle is closed and the next opportunity is the Spring 2027 intake, expected to open around 20 December 2026 with a late-January deadline. The official page checked still displays the 2025-26 schedule, so confirm the 2026-27 dates on the official website. Source: uobs.edu.pk/admissions. This record pairs with the University of Baltistan profile and entry test guide.

Entry Test and Merit
University entry test 30% + academic merit 70%, interviews for selected programmes (official). See the University of Baltistan entry test guide.
Fee and Scholarships
Official 2025-26 undergraduate fees: admission fee Rs. 5,000, tuition Rs. 2,500 per credit hour, library Rs. 1,000, laboratory Rs. 2,000, sports Rs. 500 and refundable security Rs. 3,000 (source: uobs.edu.pk/admissions). Need-based aid, merit, HEC and special-quota scholarships are listed; see our scholarship listings.
Documents and Tips for Applicants
The official admissions page requires educational certificates, CNIC or B-Form, Gilgit-Baltistan domicile, a character certificate and eight passport-size photographs, so gather these before the Spring 2027 window opens in December. Government employees need a no-objection certificate from their department. Because the entry test carries 30% weight, do not skip it on the assumption that strong intermediate marks are enough; applicants who miss the test are not ranked. Spring intake covers only selected programmes, so if your chosen BS is not listed in the Spring advertisement you will need to wait for Fall 2027. Winter weather in Skardu can disrupt travel and internet, so submit the online form early rather than on the deadline day. The refundable security deposit is returned on completion of the degree.
