Usman Institute of Technology is open to both boys and girls of any religion, race, creed, colour or domicile who are academically qualified for admission.

 

There are no reserved or quota seats. Students are admitted only on merit. The merit, for the purpose of admission is determined on the basis of scholastic achievements in the SSC, HSC or equivalent examinations, entrance test and interview.

 

Depending on the number of seats available, applicants who are at the top of the index of cumulative achievements will be offered admissions. If there are early dropouts, the vacant seats will be offered to those who are next on the merit list. No waiting list will be announced. Allotment of disciplines will follow strictly on merit of the students concerned. It is, therefore, possible that some students, selected in the general merit list may fail to get the discipline of their choice. In such cases, they will be accommodated

in the alternate choice.
