Official page check (15 November 2026): we opened paf-iast.edu.pk/admissions in a browser. It loaded, with links for Apply Now, Fee Structure, FAQs, Scholarships, Entry Test Composition, Admission Schedule, Merit Schemes and Eligibility Criteria.

The contact numbers on that page (Admissions +92 995 931852 / 53, Scholarships +92 995 931984, WhatsApp queries +92 346 9494531) match the ad.
