Break Down Of Admission Process & Policies
Candidates are required to fully acquaint themselves with and abide by the admission criteria and procedures. No appeal shall be entertained against it. A prospective candidate gains admission only if they meet the eligibility criteria of the school.
1. Admission Confirmation
A student’s admission will only be confirmed after they have submitted all required documents, signed the
admission form and undertakings, paid their fee, and received an admission confirmation letter from the
admission office.
2. Merit-Based Admission
Merit is the sole criterion for admission, based on the candidate’s educational achievements and test scores. Each applicant is assessed fairly, ensuring that only students who meet the academic standards and demonstrate the potential to thrive in our learning environment are admitted. The school does not entertain requests for admission based on personal references, influence, or financial contributions. Our commitment to merit-based admissions ensures that every student is selected purely on their ability and readiness to succeed at PBS.
3. Admission Offer & Fee Payment
Upon meeting the entrance requirements, the student receives an admission offer and must complete all necessary formalities.
The student is then issued a fee bill payable in Pak Rupees, USD, and GBP. Once the fee is paid, an acceptance letter is provided.
