Applicants for admission to all the Bachelor and Master degree programs are required to take the Isra University Admission Test (IUAT). The admission is purely on merit attained in this test.The test consists of two parts with an intermediate phase of short listing for personal interviews. It may, however, be noted that overseas Pakistani and foreign students are exempted from taking the Isra University Admission Test. The selection of such students will exclusively be based on their academic record and interview.

Applicants for M.Phil, Ph.D or postgraduate degree programs in clinical sciences, who fulfill the requisite conditions for admissions, will be called for a comprehensive interview or subject Graduate Records Examination or both. These students do not have to take Isra University Admission Test.

IUAT Part-1

This is a written test. Sample test papers are available for each program of study, and are provided to those candidates who complete the prescribed application form and register themselves for taking the admission test.

The test will be conducted at the Isra University Campus, Hyderabad. The time and date of the test will be communicated to the applicants individually by post or e-mail and through announcements in the news media.

Short Listing of Candidates

Short listing will purely depend upon the scores achieved by students in IUAT Part – 1. Only the short-listed students will qualify for IUAT Part – 2 and will be individually called for the interview.

IUAT Part-2

This part of the test is a personal interview of the applicantsto assess their communication skills, aptitude, integrity, motivation, maturity and interest in the selected degree program. An applicant will meet two interviewers for a period of at least 20 minutes each. The interviews will be held at Isra University Campus in Hyderabad. The date and time of the interview will be communicated separately to each short listed applicant.

SELECTION FOR ADMISSION

The results of IUAT (both parts) are compiled and reviewed by Isra University Admissions Committee. The Committee recommends only those students for admission who are considered academically outstanding and have special aptitude for serving the community and the country of their permanent residence. The decision of the Committee is final and can not be challenged. Selected candidates will be informed individually. The results of the IUAT will neither be communicated on telephone nor will be revealed to sympathizers and friends. Selection of the candidates for theM Phil and Ph D programs is based on correspondence in the case of foreign students and interviews of the candidates residing in Pakistan.

PROFICIENCY IN ENGLISH

All programs are conducted in the English language, the official medium of communication of the University. Students are required to demonstrate reasonably good proficiency in this language. However, those who are admitted because of excellent performance in the test but are not up to the required standard in English will be offered an intensive, non-credit course in Special English aimed at improving their proficiency in written and oral communication skills. The students attending this course must take a test at the completion of this course and achieve a satisfactory test score.
