AKU is primarily a medical university and the MBBS program is one of the hardest to get into in Pakistan. They use their own entry test alongside FSc marks. An 85%+ aggregate in FSc is a realistic expectation — and even then the competition is fierce. The entry test is the primary filter.
Yes, and AKU is actually very welcoming of Cambridge-educated students — a significant portion of their intake comes from O/A level backgrounds. You need strong coverage in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics or Math for MBBS.
Around 100 MBBS seats per year. One of the smallest intakes in the country — which is a big part of what makes it so competitive and what gives the degree so much weight.
Yes, and AKU explicitly states that financial need should not prevent a student from attending. They have a strong financial aid program — apply for it alongside your admission application. Do not assume you cannot afford it before checking.
AKU runs a structured offer process. You get a deadline to accept the offer and arrange financial aid if you applied for it. The process is clear and well-communicated.
Expensive — roughly Rs. 800,000 to over 1,000,000 per year for MBBS. However, the financial aid program can cover a large portion for eligible students. The investment is significant but so is the degree.
AKU primarily focuses on medicine, nursing, and education sciences. You apply to a specific program, so there is not much scope for multi-program applications in the traditional sense.
