The Women University Multan

The Women University Multan (WUM) is a public sector university for women in Multan, Punjab — the first university in the city dedicated to women. It was created under a 2010 Act of the Punjab Assembly and began functioning as a full university in 2012, growing out of the Kutchery campus of Government Degree College for Women, Multan (Source: wum.edu.pk). WUM teaches undergraduate programmes in around 60 streams of study across science, life sciences, arts and social sciences, management sciences, and religion and languages, and is known in south Punjab for its affordable BS and ADP options and its two-campus set-up in the city.

Admission Process

Entry Test and Merit

WUM states that merit combines weighted marks from the previous degree with entry test marks where a test applies, and that 20 marks are added for Hafiz-e-Quran (Source: WUM undergraduate admissions page). For BS/ADP programmes the website describes entry tests only for Master/MPhil level, so undergraduate admission is effectively on open merit; the exact weightage is not published — check the official website. See our WUM entry test page.
