It is necessary to mention that university will also include the entry test marks in the merit but the marks of matric and HSSC part 1 will be included in the absence of HSSC part 2 result, as the 10th and 2nd year annual exams will not be conducted this year and the federal government has already cancelled the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th classes annual exams.

Now it is expected that most of the universities will start their admission process during the months of June or July in order to finalize the admission before September so their new classes will be started from 15 September.
