Eligibility Criteria & Application Fee Breakdown
UET Lahore has outlined differentiated payment rules depending on an applicant's prior submission status:
- Free Application (Rs. 0): Candidates who previously submitted an application for leftover seats in earlier rounds but were not allocated a seat on merit are exempt from paying any processing fee. They can log in to the portal and adjust their program preferences without generating a new challan.
- Paid Application (Rs. 3,000 Challan): Candidates who have already secured an admission offer in any department or campus but wish to apply for an upgrade/reallocation must pay an admission processing challan of Rs. 3,000. Similarly, prospective applicants who did not submit an online application during earlier admission cycles must also deposit the Rs. 3,000 processing fee.
- Single Selection Policy: Under the walk-in admission directives, each applicant is permitted to select exactly one degree program, one campus, and one admission category within their aggregate merit band.
