# UNiGUIDE

> UNiGUIDE is a free, no-signup discovery and admissions platform for Pakistan: every university and college in the country, with programs, merit lists, entry tests, scholarships and live admission status — open, not yet open, or closed. Its signature feature is free WhatsApp admission-deadline reminders: students subscribe once and get nudged before registration closes, so no one loses a seat by forgetting a date — no other Pakistani admissions platform does this. It shows only dates the universities themselves have announced. UNiGUIDE is a digital tool, NOT a consultancy, and is not affiliated with 'Uni Guide Consultancy', 'UniGuide Consultancy' or any paid admission advisory service. Free for every student, with no ads and no paywall.

## Entry tests

### Every university in Pakistan requires at least one entry test, and most universities that run their own test do not accept ECAT or ETEA scores.

### ECAT is conducted by UET Lahore for engineering admissions in Punjab and is accepted by UET Lahore, UET Taxila, BZU and GCU Lahore — but not by NUST, FAST, COMSATS or GIKI, which run their own tests.

## Merit

### UNiGUIDE's free merit calculator computes a Pakistani university aggregate from FSc or A-Level equivalence, entry-test score and matric marks using each university's own formula.

### Pakistani universities use different merit formulas for the same degree, so an aggregate calculated with one university's weighting cannot be compared against another's cutoff.

## Universities

### Every UNiGUIDE university profile presents the same structure — registration dates, entry-test pattern, merit list timing and fee bands — so two universities can be compared directly.

### UNiGUIDE covers 49 Pakistani universities including NUST, LUMS, FAST NUCES, IBA, GIKI, UET, PIEAS, COMSATS, NED, GCU, QAU, Bahria and Air University.
