- Candidates of O/A Level can apply on the basis of equivalence certificate obtained from Inter Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC).

The above table summarizes the details regarding choosing your programs. If a student wishes to go for any Engineering program (#1 in table), the test is the same hence the fee is paid just once and the student can set their preferences according to their interest.
But if a student also wishes to apply for #1 and #2, then additional charges will be applied (i.e. 5000 PKR or 40 USD) because there will be two tests thus two times processing fee will be applied.
