Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) has recently announced new admission rules for students applying to the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) Pre-Medical and Pre-Engineering programs. The university clarified that only those who have successfully completed their Matric with Science subjects are eligible to apply.
According to AIOU, applicants must ensure they have passed all compulsory and elective subjects in their Matric Science certificate. Any student with an F grade in any of these subjects will not be considered for admission into the Pre-Medical or Pre-Engineering programs.
To facilitate the application process, AIOU has directed first-semester students to verify their Matric Science certificates through the Intermediate Board of Certification and Control (IBCC) and upload them to their CMS account. The university emphasized that failure to comply with this requirement may result in difficulties obtaining a final certificate later on.
The new rules also stipulate that applicants must attach an attested copy of their Matric Science certificate along with their admission form. AIOU clarified that a simple result card will not be accepted, highlighting the importance of submitting official documentation.
Dr. Muhammad Ali, Dean of Admissions at AIOU, stated in a press release: 'We are implementing these stringent measures to ensure academic integrity and prepare students for higher education.' He further added, 'It is crucial that all applicants adhere to these guidelines to avoid any complications during the admission process.'
The university has also advised students to keep their Matric Science certificates safe as they will be required throughout their academic journey. AIOU’s move comes at a time when many universities are tightening their admission criteria to maintain high standards of education.
Students who have already submitted applications or are planning to apply for the Autumn 2026 admissions should review these new rules carefully and ensure all necessary documents are in order before proceeding with their application.
