Fees and merit guidance
UAF is a public university with subsidised semester fees; exact current-cycle fees, hostel charges and programme-wise closing merits are to be confirmed on the UAF admission portal and prospectus before applying, and this profile deliberately does not quote unverified figures. Admission is merit-based on intermediate marks and, for some programmes, entry-test scores; agriculture seats are competitive, and DVM merit is typically among the highest in the university.
Admission
Admissions open annually for fall entry, with online applications through the UAF portal, merit lists published in rounds, and document verification at the campus. The current cycle's schedule, fee structure and merit lists are to be confirmed on uaf.edu.pk. Students from other provinces should check domicile and quota rules for their category before applying.
