FAQ
- What aggregate do I need for Habib University?
- Habib uses their own AMAN test alongside your grades. They look at the whole profile — test score, academics, and critical thinking ability. No fixed aggregate cutoff is published. If you have strong analytical skills, do not count yourself out even if your grades are not perfect.
- Does Habib accept O-level and A-level students?
- Yes, and Habib was actually designed with O/A level students in mind. Their curriculum and admission process are very compatible with a Cambridge background. Many of their students come from that system.
- How many seats does Habib offer?
- Very small intake — around 200 to 300 students per year. Habib is deliberately small to maintain its focus on interdisciplinary, liberal arts-style engineering education. The small size is a feature, not a bug.
- Does Habib offer need-based scholarships?
- Yes, and Habib has specifically committed to making sure financial need is not a barrier. A significant portion of students receive aid. Apply alongside your admission — do not let the fee structure stop you from applying.
- What happens after the Habib merit list?
- You receive an offer with a deadline to accept. Financial aid students go through a parallel process that gets sorted around the same time as the admission offer.
- What is the Habib fee structure?
- Around Rs. 300,000 to 400,000 per semester — one of the higher price points among private universities. But financial aid is genuinely generous here, so the actual cost for many students ends up being much lower.
- Can I apply to multiple programs at Habib?
- Habib has a unique interdisciplinary structure where you do not fully commit to a major from day one — you explore first and specialize later. So the multi-program question is less of a concern here than at traditional universities.
