GIKI admission test: eligibility, syllabus topics and merit
Who can apply to GIKI, what the admission test syllabus covers in Mathematics, Physics and English, how merit is built, and how to prepare.
Last updated: 31 October 2026
The short answer
GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology admits undergraduate students on the basis of earlier results and its own admission test. There are two exams. The Engineering and Computing exam is for the engineering programmes and for Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Cyber Security, Software Engineering and Data Science. The Management exam is for the BS in Management Sciences. For the engineering and computing exam the questions are multiple choice, on Pakistani intermediate level Physics, Mathematics and English.
Who can apply
- BS Engineering: HSSC Pre-Engineering or ICS with 60 percent or above in Mathematics, Physics and overall. HSSC Pre-Medical candidates need Additional Mathematics and the same marks.
- Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Cyber Security, Data Science and Software Engineering: HSSC with Mathematics, Physics and any other subject as the third subject, with 60 percent or above in Mathematics, Physics and overall.
- BS Management Sciences: HSSC in any group with at least 60 percent overall marks.
- O Level and A Level candidates and candidates with an American or Canadian diploma or an IB diploma have their own conditions. Read the eligibility page of GIKI.
How merit is built
GIKI gives 85 percent to the admission test score. The remaining 15 percent comes from your earlier qualification: SSC or equivalent, or O Level for those with an A Level and O Level background, or your last completed qualification for those with a diploma, IB or B.Sc. Candidates who are waiting for results can apply for provisional admission.
What the syllabus covers
This is the official syllabus of GIKI for the Engineering and Computing exam. It lists topics and does not give a number of questions for each subject.
| Subject | Topics |
|---|---|
| Mathematics | Number systems, set theory and functions. Quadratic equations. Sequences and series, with basic statistics, probability, permutations and combinations. Mathematical induction and the binomial theorem. Trigonometry. Differential calculus. Integral calculus. Analytic geometry and conic sections. Vectors. |
| Physics | Measurements and vectors. Motion and work, with force, energy and fluid dynamics. Waves and oscillations. Optics. Heat and thermodynamics. Electricity, including electromagnetism, induction and electronics. Modern physics. |
| English | Reading comprehension. Vocabulary, with synonyms and antonyms. Correct usage, with tenses and language patterns. |
How to prepare
- Download the official syllabus and the sample paper from the GIKI undergraduate admission test syllabus page. Mark each topic as strong, medium or weak and plan your weeks from the list.
- Use the sample paper to see the style of questions. Check its date before you rely on it.
- Practise Mathematics and Physics problems with units and working, and keep a short daily English set.
- Check the notice for your year for the test dates, the test centres and the rules of marking.
