IUB Spring Admission 2027 Status and MPhil/PhD Spring Rules (Official)

Short answer: IUB’s Admissions page (iub.edu.pk/admissions, checked 8 November 2026) listed only Fall 2026 adverts and no Spring 2027 advertisement yet. In Spring 2026 the BS last date was 23 January 2026 and the MPhil/MS/MBA/LLM/PhD last date was 31 January 2026, so the Spring 2027 dates are expected in January 2027 (our estimate from last year, not an official date). IUB’s official academic calendar (Notification No. 825/Acad, 3 July 2026) fixes Spring 2027 classes from 25 January 2027, mid-terms 22-28 March and finals 25-31 May 2027, with results on 11 June 2027.

IUB’s Important Dates page also lists monthly batches of the “IUB Special Test” (Under Graduate, Post Graduate and PhD): apply on the 1st-7th with the test on the 11th-14th, or apply on the 14th-20th with the test on the 24th-28th. The page states no year. Check the Spring 2027 advertisement for which test your program accepts.
