UAJK Entry Test 2026-27

About This Entry Test

The University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir fills most of its BS seats on open merit, so there is no single compulsory entry test for undergraduate applicants. Its in-house UGAT applies to MPhil and PhD admission, while a few professional programmes follow national tests. This guide sets out what applies to which programme in 2026-27.

  • Apply for more than one department to use your marks fully
  • LLB applicants should book the HEC LAT well before the UAJK deadline
  • Keep domicile and photographs ready; missing documents are the most common reason forms are rejected
