Waiting on your Air University (AU) outcome? This guide shows you exactly where to check your status, how AU’s merit formula works, what the list rounds mean, and the actions to take to secure or upgrade your seat.
Where to Check Your Result
Air University publishes UG selection inside your admissions portal. AU also provides a public merit-list lookup where you can search by Admit Card/CNIC. For 2025, AU’s site shows multiple UG list rounds and a portal to check/upgrade (for relevant faculties).
Official result/merit portals (examples):
- Islamabad campuses merit lookup & upgrade consent (UG): “Selected Candidates list of Fall-2025” with search by Admit Card/CNIC.
- Some campuses publish a standalone lookup page (search by Admit Card/CNIC) when their lists go live.
Quick steps to check:
| Step |
Action |
What you’ll see |
| 1 |
Log in to the AU admissions portal (your campus) on the list day. |
Dashboard → application status / merit offer (if any). |
| 2 |
Open the merit-list lookup (Admit Card/CNIC search) if provided. |
Offer program, fee deadline, upgrade consent (where applicable). |
| 3 |
Download your offer letter & challan once selected. |
Payment instructions, reporting/verification steps. |
AU’s UG merit combines academic record with an entry test (AU-CBT or accepted exemption). The official page details accepted tests and UG merit components.

*AU-CBT or an accepted exemption (e.g., NAT/USAT/NET/ECAT/ETEA/MUET/NED, etc.). Minimum exemption score is typically 50 within 1 year of AU’s closing date; match the test to your HSSC stream.
Merit List Rounds, Upgrades & Deadlines
AU releases a 1st Merit List, then additional lists (2nd, 3rd, etc.) if seats free up. In 2025 the Admissions Schedule page publishes the UG list dates and fee deadlines; the AU homepage has shown successive UG list announcements and upgrade notices for relevant faculties.
How upgrades work
- If you pay on time and select upgrade consent (where provided), you may be moved to a higher-preference program when a seat opens in later lists. Check your portal on each list day.
After Offer: Documents, Fee & Enrollment
Once selected:
- Download your offer package (offer letter + fee voucher) and pay by the stated deadline.
- Report with originals for verification on Registration/Orientation day (SSC/HSSC or IBCC equivalence, CNIC/Form-B, photos, paid challan).
- If needed, secure hostel/transport via portal (limited seats; campus-specific).
For per-credit tuition and first-semester totals, AU publishes a Fee Structure (Fall-2025) by program (Islamabad snapshot below).

Admission Timeline 2025 (Highlights)
AU’s Admission Schedule (Fall-2025) lists CBT windows and merit-list dates. For Phase-III 2025, the schedule includes late-July CBT windows and 1st UG merit list on 4 Aug 2025, with subsequent lists and fee deadlines the following weeks. Always reconfirm the live schedule before applying.
Conclusion
Your AU journey is won on the portal: log in on list days, note your offer & fee deadline, and act fast. Know the merit weights (Engineering 10/50/40; Non-Engg 15/35/50), keep documents ready, and pay early to secure your seat. If you’re in the upgrade pool, keep checking later lists—seats do reshuffle. With the steps here (and AU’s schedule and fee pages), you can move from “result pending” to confirmed enrollment smoothly.
