Moreover, the Virtual University offers online lectures for all classes to facilitate them in learning the concepts fast. Notably, it has achieved a significant milestone by reaching students in over 100 cities in Pakistan and enrolling students from abroad.

Once these steps are done, applicants must click the “Sign Up” button. Please note: all applicants must provide entirely accurate personal details, which should match the information on their ID card, SSC, and HSSC documents. Also, it’s essential to input the correct CNIC/B-form number; failure to do so will result in the university rejecting the application.

Furthermore, applicants will receive an admission verification link on their registered email addresses after signing up. Check your email inbox and click on the verification link provided in the official email from Virtual University. Upon clicking the link, your account will be registered.

Upon signing in, the admission form will appear. The form is divided into five sections: program selection, personal details, need-based scholarship form, fee transfer form, document upload, and application submission.

Program Selection

In the program selection section, specify your status, indicating whether you are an applicant “within Pakistan” or an “Overseas” applicant. Then, select your degree program, for instance, “Masters” or “BS,” and your chosen study program, such as “Zoology” or “Arts,” etc. Furthermore, indicate your preferred location of study by selecting your preferred city, campus, and Lab.

Need Based Scholarship Form

If an applicant desires to apply for a need-based scholarship, they should choose the “Yes” option, and the scholarship form will be generated and shown on the screen for the applicant. All the necessary details must be filled in. If candidates do not want to apply for the scholarship, click the “NO” button. After you’ve finished, press the save button and move on to the next section.

Credit Transfer Form

Submit Application

Prior to application submission, candidates will be asked, “Have you acquired the prospectus?” If you have, choose the “Yes” option and input the prospectus number found in your prospectus booklet. Conversely, if you haven’t purchased the prospectus, the system will create a prospectus fee voucher that you must pay. The university will send you the prospectus at a later date.

Crucial Reminder: After completing the form, the candidate must meticulously review all the given details and press the “Submit Application” button.

Step 4: Printing The Admission Form And Submitting It With The Fee Voucher

 The creation of fee vouchers for students who have not yet bought the prospectus will occur when the online form is submitted. All required information is included in the fee voucher, which applicants must use in accordance with its instructions and submit with payment by the specified deadline. 

Step 5: Verification Of Admission 

Every application will be examined and evaluated in relation to the requirements for admission eligibility. If an applicant’s application is complete and confirmed to be qualified, a fee voucher will be sent to them. However, after the presentation of the Merit list, candidates for life science programs will get their fee vouchers. 

An applicant’s admission status may be seen on the website under the “Admitted Candidates List” option. Applicants whose applications have been accepted must pay the challan. Click the “View” option to see your status. An email confirming admission will be sent to each applicant’s registered email address when the selected individuals have been selected. After being chosen by the university, applicants who want to enroll themselves must pay the fee challan and email a scanned copy to the accounts department at masters_fee@vu.edu.pk or bs_fee@vu.edu.pk. 

Following your submission, the admissions status will be visible on the Virtual University website under the “Admitted Candidate’s List.” Only applicants who have paid the fee challan within the deadline will be accepted, per policy. Accepted students will get an email right away. 

Step 6: Document Distribution 

The institution will use a courier to send the admission confirmation letter to accepted students. The university’s confirmation letter includes vital details such as the “Student VU ID” and “Password,” which are necessary to access the VU Learning Management System (LMS). Accepted applicants are requested never to disclose their passwords to other parties since this might lead to abuse. According to the university, students must keep their accounts and passwords private. By often changing their passwords, students can keep their accounts safe.  

We hope applying for online admission on the Virtual University website will be easier for all students. Test Ki Duniya, good luck to every candidate seeking admission to VU this year.
