In an official statement, the university said applicants can now apply for BS admissions without appearing in the HEC USAT. Students who have already taken the USAT, regardless of whether they passed the test, will also remain eligible to apply.

The decision is expected to provide additional convenience for students who were unable to appear in the HEC USAT while maintaining the university’s existing academic standards and program-specific admission procedures.
