Quick Facts

Eligibility Criteria

Admission requires Intermediate (any group) or A-level or equivalent; the minimum percentage is published on the official undergraduate admission roadmap for each intake. The BUET paper for BS Psychology is the English-weighted version rather than the general social-sciences paper.

Bahria University does not publish minimum intermediate percentages on its public admission test page, and the Admission Quota and Test Exemption pages hold the detailed conditions, so confirm the exact percentage and subject requirement for this program on the official undergraduate admission roadmap before applying.
