NED University Revises Admission Policy for 2025/26

NED University of Engineering and Technology has updated its admission policy for the 2025/26 academic session to address the alarmingly low pass rates in Karachi’s intermediate exams.

For BE and BS programs, NED University has reduced the weightage of intermediate results and increased the emphasis on the entrance test.

The decision follows a significant drop in intermediate exam pass rates. Specifically, pre-engineering students achieved only a 29% pass rate, while pre-medical students reached 35%. Previously, admissions relied entirely on intermediate results. However, this approach no longer suits the current educational landscape in Karachi.

A fact-finding committee, chaired by Provincial Education Minister Syed Sardar Shah, investigated the issue. The committee recommended a 15-20% mark increase in physics, chemistry, and mathematics for affected students. Unfortunately, these suggestions remain unimplemented. As a result, NED University took independent action to revise its criteria.

NED New Admission Criteria

Under the updated policy, only students scoring 57% or higher in intermediate exams can apply. This eligibility threshold may exclude many applicants. Additionally, the merit list calculation has shifted. The entrance test accounts for 60% of the score, while intermediate results contribute 40%. Previously, the split was an even 50/50.

Dr. Tufail Ahmed, Vice-Chancellor of NED University, emphasized that this adjustment ensures fairness. “We aim to maintain academic standards despite external challenges,” he stated.

The admission advertisement will appear in the last week of March 2025. The first entrance test is scheduled for May 24, with a second test on July 12. The new academic session begins August 18. This year, NED offers 3,016 seats across 35 programs, including 100 newly added seats.

This policy shift reflects NED University’s commitment to quality education. By prioritizing the entrance test, the university adapts to declining intermediate performance. Consequently, it ensures that admitted students meet rigorous standards, even amidst broader educational challenges.
