According to the admission advertisement, all applications will be processed through a single Centralized Admission System for constituent and affiliated colleges.
The system covers 8 public sector colleges and 20 private sector colleges affiliated with SZABMU. This centralized process is important for applicants because it allows them to choose multiple colleges and programs through one admission route rather than applying separately to each institution.
Online applications opened on Monday, 13 July 2026, and the last date to apply is Friday, 25 July 2026. The application fee is Rs. 4,000 and is non-refundable, so candidates should carefully review eligibility, program choices and college preferences before submitting the form.

The offered BS Allied Health Sciences options include Anesthesia Technology, Biotechnology, Cardiac Perfusion, Cardiovascular Sciences, Dental Technology, Emergency and Clinical Medicine, Medical Laboratory Technology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Molecular Genetics, Radiography and Imaging Technology, Surgical Technology and Vision Sciences.

How Students Can Apply Online
Interested candidates can apply through the official SZABMU admission portal at www.szabmu.edu.pk. Applicants must first generate a 1-Bill invoice and deposit the non-refundable application fee through internet or mobile banking. After payment, they need to complete the online form, upload required documents, and select their discipline and college preferences.
Candidates can choose all colleges of their choice in order of preference. However, public and private sector colleges must be selected separately. This step matters because merit lists and seat allocation depend on both merit and preference order, so students should not rush this part of the application.
Students should keep copies of their fee record, submitted application and uploaded documents. They should also regularly check the SZABMU website for entry test instructions, roll number slips, merit lists and any changes to the admission schedule.
| Student Reminder: Seats are limited, and admission will depend on eligibility, entry test qualification, merit position and selected college preferences. |
The Fall 2026 admission cycle gives health sciences students a short application window, so candidates interested in Nursing, DPT or Allied Health Sciences should complete the process as early as possible and avoid waiting until the final day.
