Applying in Sindh
Sindh institutions commonly use their own admission tests or accept NTS, with medical and dental admission governed by the national MDCAT. Karachi and Hyderabad concentrate most of the province’s higher-education capacity, and competition for public-sector seats there is correspondingly heavy. Because The Shaikh Ayaz University, Shikarpur Sindh is in the public sector, seats are allocated partly on a domicile basis. Applicants holding a domicile from outside the province should check how many open-merit seats are available before applying.
