The Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Islamabad, has opened admissions for its four-year BS Nursing program for the 2026 session, with a total of 50 seats available across the country. The seats are distributed by region: 15 for Punjab, 10 for Islamabad Capital Territory, 5 for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa/FATA, 5 reserved for PIMS employees, 5 on open merit, 2 each for Sindh Rural, Sindh Urban, Balochistan, and Gilgit-Baltistan, and 1 each for Azad Jammu and Kashmir and for candidates with a minor disability. To be eligible, candidates must have passed Matric in the Science group with Biology, Physics, and Chemistry, and secured at least 50 percent marks in FSc Pre-Medical. They must also have scored at least 50 marks in the SZABMU entry test held on September 1, 2026. Applicants must be between 16 and 35 years of age, and both married and unmarried candidates can apply. Merit for admission will be calculated using a formula that gives 50 percent weight to the SZABMU entry test score, 35 percent to FSc marks, and 15 percent to Matric marks. PIMS has reserved 90 percent of the 50 seats for female candidates, with the remaining 10 percent for male candidates. Hostel accommodation is available for female students based on need, though the institute has clarified that students admitted to the program will not receive any stipend or other financial assistance. Interested applicants must collect the admission form and prospectus in person from the School of Nursing at PIMS, located in G-8/3, Islamabad, between 8 AM and 2 PM. Completed forms must be submitted in person along with attested copies of academic documents, domicile certificate, CNIC or B-Form, and two passport-size photographs. The announcement does not specify a closing date for submissions, so interested candidates are advised to contact the PIMS School of Nursing directly for the current application deadline.
