KARACHI: The University of Karachi will launch a four-year degree programme in Aviation Technology and Management under its Institute of Space Science and Technology from the academic year 2026.
The university will announce admissions along with an updated entry policy. The Academic Council, chaired by Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Khalid Iraqi, is meeting today (Thursday) to finalise the admission framework for 2026.
To speed up the process, the Admissions Committee is working to release intermediate results earlier this year.
Applications are expected to open by late September, with entry tests scheduled for October. Last year, admissions began in late October, and tests were held in November.

Prof Dr Javed Iqbal, Chairman of the Institute of Space Science, said the programme had received Academic Council approval last year but was delayed due to pending formal confirmation.
He added that admissions will be divided equally between morning and evening shifts and will be based on entry test results. Only students with a pre-engineering background will be eligible to apply.
Dr Iqbal said the curriculum will include technical aerospace courses and management studies to meet the needs of Pakistan’s aviation and airline industries.
