How to Apply for Kinnaird College Admission Winter 2026 (Online or Manual)
Match your FA / F.Sc / A-level marks (BS) or CGPA / marks (M.Phil, MS, PhD) with the criteria above. The ad says: “Candidates who do not meet the criteria or fail in any subject need not apply.”
Go to kinnaird.edu.pk or scan the QR code in the ad.
The ad says the online application processing fee challan form can be paid in any branch of Askari Bank. The amount is not printed in the ad.
The ad says there is no need to submit a physical form after completing the online processing.
Admission handbooks are available at the Kinnaird College campus (93-Jail Road, Lahore) between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm, 16 to 30 November 2026.
Graduate Assessment Test (M.Phil & PhD) and the BS Applied Linguistics aptitude test on 2 December; interviews for all BS, M.Phil and PhD programmes on 4 December 2026. Watch the merit list on 11 December and submit the fee by 18 December 2026.
Official page check (15 November 2026): we opened kinnaird.edu.pk and its Undergraduate, Graduate and Doctoral admissions pages in a browser; they load. On 15 November the home page still promoted “Fall Admissions 2026” and we could not find a Winter 2026 notice, an application fee amount or new-cycle deadlines on those pages, so we state only what the newspaper ad prints. The ad itself tells readers to visit the college website or see the admission handbook package for detailed eligibility criteria for each programme and the test and interview schedule.
Karna / Nahi Karna
Karna:
