Fees, merit and dates — to be confirmed
The university revises its fee structure every year, and the current figures are published in the prospectus on its official website. This page will be updated when the next prospectus is published. As a guide only, public universities of this size in Punjab typically charge BS fees in the range of roughly Rs 20,000–60,000 per semester, varying by programme — but do not rely on that range; confirm the exact fee for your programme on uo.edu.pk or from the admissions office. Closing merits are not published in a single public list; they depend on the number of applicants and seats in each programme each year.
How to apply
Apply online through the university's admissions portal at admissions.uo.edu.pk. Keep your Intermediate result card, CNIC or B-Form, domicile and photographs ready, and apply well before the last date — public university portals slow down badly in the final days. If you are a result-awaiting student, check whether provisional admission on Part-I results is offered for your programme.
