Which FAST test schedule is this?
The FAST entry test – officially the NU Admission Test – is the admission test of FAST-NUCES for its BS programmes in computing, engineering and business at its campuses across Pakistan. FAST runs one admission cycle per year for the Fall intake, so the next test will be for Fall 2027.
FAST also accepts other tests instead of its own: for undergraduate programmes, applicants can use SAT or NTS results; for MS/MPhil, HEC HAT; and for PhD, HAT-Subject – or sit the NU Admission Test.
