A student can sign up and register for the test by clicking here. The application processing fee for the entry test is 3000 PKR or 35 USD.
Here is the method to apply for different programs for Undergraduate students.
| # | Programs | Registration Fee for NET |

| 6 | Business Studies and Social Sciences | 3000 PKR or 35 USD |
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. 3000 PKR or 35 USD) because there will be two tests thus two times processing fee will be applied.
Similarly if the student wishes to apply for say #1, #3 and #6. In #1 and #6 preferences can be set but #3 is BS Physics only. The student will pay three times the original processing fee and give 3 tests.
