NED University of Engineering and Technology, Karachi has opened admissions for its one-year Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) programmes under the Spring-I 2027 intake, with registration open from October 1 through December 15, 2026. To be eligible, applicants need at least a second division along with 14 years of education -- meaning a two-year bachelor's degree completed after intermediate, or a four-year BS degree, satisfies the requirement. Candidates holding foreign qualifications must additionally submit degree equivalence documentation. Interested applicants can apply by selecting their chosen diploma on the NED Academy portal (academy.neduet.edu.pk), completing the registration form, and paying a non-refundable registration fee of Rs 5,000. After uploading the required documents, candidates attend an interview as part of the admission process. The complete programme costs Rs 203,000, though students who pay the full amount upfront receive a 15% discount, bringing the cost down to approximately Rs 172,550; the full course fee is due before classes begin. Classes for the Spring-I 2027 diploma intake are scheduled to start on January 9, 2027, with final examinations set for April 9-11, 2027. NED has confirmed that its regular undergraduate, master's, and PhD admissions for the 2026 intake have already closed, leaving the Postgraduate Diploma as the university's only currently open admission route.
