GAP (checked 2026-10-30): COMSATS has not published official domestic Spring 2027 key dates - the admission portal still shows Fall 2026 (all campus windows closed). The previously carried dates (registration ~1 Nov 2026, deadline ~25 Dec 2026, classes ~1 Feb 2027) were last-reported and unconfirmed, and have been removed. International deadline 15 Nov 2026 per the official international admissions page (2026-10-15). Re-check the portal before the next batch.

FAQ
- What aggregate do I need for COMSATS?
- COMSATS combines your FSc marks with an NTS or entry test score. A 60 to 65%+ FSc aggregate is a common baseline, but merit varies by campus and program — CS in Islamabad is more competitive than most others. Check previous year merit lists for the specific campus you are targeting.
- Does COMSATS accept O-level and A-level students?
- Yes, across all campuses. IBCC equivalence is used for your aggregate calculation.
- How many seats does COMSATS offer?
- COMSATS has campuses in Islamabad, Lahore, Wah, Sahiwal, Attock, Abbottabad, Vehari, and Chitral. Combined intake is one of the highest in the country — if you need flexibility on location, COMSATS gives you a lot of options.
- Does COMSATS offer need-based scholarships?
- Yes. COMSATS offers need-based fee waivers and HEC-funded scholarships. Apply early as these slots tend to fill up. Being a semi-public institution, fees are already relatively affordable even without aid.
- What happens after the COMSATS merit list?
- Pay your fee within the specified window. COMSATS releases multiple merit lists, so if you miss out on the first, keep checking — seats do open up as other students confirm elsewhere.
- What is the COMSATS fee structure?
- Roughly Rs. 60,000 to 120,000 per semester depending on the program and campus. One of the more affordable options among recognized private and semi-public universities.
- Can I apply to multiple COMSATS campuses?
- Yes. You can apply to multiple campuses and list your preference order. This is worth doing if you are open to relocating — different campuses have different merit cutoffs.
