Fees
Published per-semester fee by department. Fees are set by the university and can change by intake; this table is not a quote.
| Department | Per semester | Per year | 4-year estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| All BS programs (approx. full load) | ₨103,000 | ₨206,000 | ₨824,000 |
Official PIEAS fee structure 2026 (BS). Tuition Rs 4,000 per credit hour; one-time charges Rs 60,000 (Admission Rs 35,000 non-refundable + University Security Rs 25,000 refundable). IT Services Rs 15,000/regular semester. Example full BS load ≈ Rs 103,000 per semester without hostel. Heavily government-subsidised.
Per year assumes two semesters; the four-year estimate assumes eight. Some programmes run different credit loads, and campuses can charge different amounts. Confirm the fee on the official page before you budget.

- What aggregate do I need for PIEAS?
- PIEAS has its own entry test and the competition is genuinely among the toughest in Pakistan. Only the top scorers nationally get in — no specific aggregate cutoff is published because the bar moves based on who sat the test that year. If you are aiming for PIEAS, treat preparation like it is the only test that matters.
- Does PIEAS accept O-level and A-level students?
- Yes. O/A level students can apply. Subject requirements are strict given the physics and engineering focus of the programs — strong coverage in Physics, Math, and Chemistry is essential.
- How many seats does PIEAS offer?
- Very limited — roughly 200 to 250 students per year. This is intentional. PIEAS runs a heavily funded, intensive program and deliberately keeps intake small to maintain quality.
- Does PIEAS offer scholarships?
- PIEAS is effectively fully funded by the government — tuition is free and students receive a monthly stipend. It is one of the best financial deals in Pakistani higher education if you can get through the entry test.
- What happens after the PIEAS merit list?
- Given the government-funded nature of the program, seat confirmation involves signing commitment forms and going through additional document checks. The process is thorough.
- What is the PIEAS fee structure?
- Essentially free. Government-funded. Students receive monthly stipends on top of that. The challenge is not the money — it is getting through the entry test.
- Can I apply to multiple programs at PIEAS?
- Programs at PIEAS are limited to specific engineering and science disciplines. You specify your preference in the application, and options are narrower than at a general university.
