Applicants can take the ITU Admissions Test OR submit their SAT scores for admission to ITU.

ITU Admissions Test

The ITU Admissions Test will be held at the ITU campus an Arfa Software Technology Park in Lahore. The test will be 2-hours long and will comprise mostly of Multiple-Choice Questions. For information about dates please click here.

Entry Test Pattern

SAT

Applicants who have taken the SAT (through ETS USA) during the last two years, may be exempted from the ITU Admissions Test. SAT scores must be reported to ITU officially from the testing agency. The college code for reporting SAT scores to ITU is 7537. Given the time constraint, applicants may upload the scorecard to their online application. Confirmation of admission of applicants on the Merit List, will take place once the official results are received from Collegeboard.
Please refer to the Collegeboard website for details about the SAT test and score report delivery.
