Quick answer: Fall 2026 admissions at most Pakistani universities are now closed (for example, BZU’s Fall 2026 BS admissions closed on 10 July 2026). The next intake for students who missed Fall 2026 is Spring 2027, which at IUB and BZU is expected around December 2026–January 2027 (expected, based on last year: BZU’s Spring 2026 applications closed on 2 January 2026 and IUB’s Spring 2026 campaign opened on 16 January 2026). Fall 2027 admissions are expected to open around June–August 2027, after intermediate results. Each university sets its own dates, eligibility and merit rules every year, so always check the official admission advert before applying.
