Thinking of applying to Bahria University (BU) this year? This guide covers who’s eligible, which test you need, how to apply (step-by-step), the fee structure (with first-semester estimate), and scholarships.

General minimum:

• 50% in Intermediate (F.Sc/ICS/FA) or A-Levels (IBCC equivalence) for most programs.
• A-Levels/foreign: IBCC equivalence + three principal subjects; ensure required subjects are covered.

Program-wise highlights:

• Engineering (EE, CE/SE, Civil, etc.): F.Sc Pre-Engineering (Math/Physics/Chemistry) ≥60%. Math at intermediate is mandatory.
• Computing (BS CS, IT, SE, AI): 50%+ with Mathematics as a subject (ICS/Pre-Engg). Pre-Medical applicants need additional Mathematics/equivalence.
• Management & Social Sciences (BBA, A&F, Econ, Media, IR, English, Psychology, etc.): 50% (any group).
• Health Sciences (DPT, Nursing, MLT, Public Health): Usually Pre-Medical; DPT/Nursing commonly expect 60%; MBBS/BDS follow PMC rules (≥65%) and MDCAT.
• Law (LLB 5-year): 50% + LAT (as per Pakistan Bar Council).

Engineering/medical programs typically need ~60%+ in the relevant stream; most other undergrad programs require 50%.

• BU Entry Test (CBT): Primary route for most local applicants (on-campus, MCQs, no interview for most UG).
• Alternatives: SAT-I or HEC-HAT may be accepted in place of BU test (confirm per program/campus).
• NTS NAT: Not the preferred route for 2025 (HAT/SAT are cited instead).
• Benchmarks: BU test has internal cutoffs; SAT-I ~1100+ is typically competitive.
• Medical (MBBS/BDS): MDCAT required as per PMC. LLB requires LAT.

If your Inter/A-Level result is pending, you can apply with a Hope Certificate and later submit the final result (must meet minimum eligibility).

Typical tuition (per semester) by program:

• One-time on admission: Admission Fee ~PKR 28,000 + Security (refundable) ~PKR 10,000.
• ‍Hostel/Transport (optional): Hostel ~PKR 20–25k/semester; Transport ~PKR 8k/semester (city/route dependent).
