UET Fee Structure 2026 – Undergraduate Programs at UET Lahore, UET Taxila & UET Peshawar

University of Engineering and Technology (UET) fee structure 2025 for undergraduate engineering programs is a crucial factor for prospective students. All three major UET universities (Lahore, Taxila, and Peshawar) offer subsidized (regular) fees for merit-based admissions and higher self-finance fees for non-subsidized seats. This article provides a clear breakdown of the UET fee structure 2026 for each campus, including regular vs. self-financed categories, so students can plan financially for their engineering education.

Important: UET Lahore, UET Taxila, and UET Peshawar are three separate, independent universities — not campuses of the same institution. Each has its own administration, fee structure, merit lists, and admission process. They are grouped together in this guide because students often compare them, but applying to one does not mean you've applied to the others.

• UET Lahore and UET Taxila are both in Punjab and share the UET Lahore ECAT as their common entry test — so one ECAT score works for both.
• UET Peshawar is in KPK and uses the ETEA CBT (a completely separate test conducted by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's testing agency) — an ECAT score does not apply here.

UET Lahore is a top engineering university in Pakistan, and its fee structure for 2026 continues to offer highly subsidized tuition for regular (open merit) students. UET Lahore fee schedules are approved by the government, keeping costs low for merit admissions. Students admitted on open merit pay significantly less than those on self-financed seats. Below are separate tables detailing the regular and self-finance undergraduate UET Lahore fee structures:

UET Taxila, another renowned engineering campus, has a fee structure similar in spirit to UET Lahore, with government-subsidized tuition for regular students and higher fees for partial-subsidy (self-finance) categories. The UET Taxila fee for a bachelor’s in engineering is structured in a straightforward way: a one-time admission charge in 1st semester and a fixed tuition per semester thereafter. The following tables show UET Taxila’s regular vs self-finance fees for undergrad programs:

UET Peshawar offers undergraduate programs at its main campus and satellite campuses (Jalozai, Bannu, Abbottabad, etc.) with a fee structure that has been “rationalized” in recent years. This means somewhat higher base tuition compared to Lahore/Taxila, but still subsidized for open merit students.

• The UET Peshawar fee for local (subsidized) students ranges roughly between PKR 50,000 to 70,000 per semester (depending on the program).
• Certain programs (especially new disciplines like CS, AI, etc. at the main campus) charge on the higher end of this range (around Rs.85k/semester), while others at smaller campuses may be lower (e.g. ~Rs.60k/semester).

Below is an overview of UET Peshawar’s fee structure for a typical 4-year B.Sc. Engineering program in 2026:

The UET fee structure 2026 for undergraduate engineering programs varies across UET Lahore, UET Taxila, and UET Peshawar. Each sets its own fees, merit lists, and admission processes.

• UET Lahore (Fall 2026): Rs. 674,114 total (subsidized, 4 years) vs Rs. 1,024,040 (partially subsidized). Fees increase slightly each semester. Hostel: Rs. 11,644–15,846/semester (subsidized). Entry test: UET Lahore ECAT (two phases).
• UET Taxila (2025-26): First semester ~Rs. 104,800 (subsidized) vs ~Rs. 339,800+ (partial-subsidized), with Rs. 4,000 application fee and Rs. 36,000–40,000 hostel. Entry test: UET Lahore ECAT (same test as Lahore, since both are Punjab universities).
• UET Peshawar (estimated): ~Rs. 4–5.5 lakh total (subsidized) vs ~Rs. 9–9.7 lakh (self-finance). Entry test: ETEA CBT (a separate KPK-based test — ECAT does not apply here). Confirm fees on the official UET Peshawar website.

All three universities keep their fee structures transparent, with details published in prospectuses and on official websites. Use the UET Aggregate Calculator to estimate your merit for UET Lahore and Taxila.
