Candidates must be Pakistani or AJK citizens without dual nationality. Undergraduate applicants should have completed 12 years of education (FSc or A-level) and be under 23 years of age. For master’s and PhD programs, 16 and 18 years of education are required, respectively. A valid score from the HAT or USAT test is essential, as selection will be based on these scores.
Due to French being the primary language of instruction in Morocco for most science and business-related subjects, selected students will be expected to take a French language course at Alliance Française centers in Pakistan. Arabic proficiency is required for those applying to programs in Islamic Studies or Arabic Language and Literature.
