Sindh College Admissions 2025: Check New Rules & Merit List Dates

The Sindh Education Department has introduced a major change in college admission requirements for 2025, making it mandatory to submit the father’s domicile while abolishing the need for the student’s own domicile and PRC (Permanent Residence Certificate). The move has sparked widespread concern among parents and students across the province.

Key Changes in Admission Policy

An official confirmed to media that in an effort to simplify the process, the department has:

• Removed the requirement of 5th and 8th-grade results for admission.
• Allowed students who failed in two subjects in 9th grade to apply.
• Made father’s domicile mandatory, scrapping the student’s domicile and PRC requirement.

However, the new rule has led to long queues at government offices, with many struggling to obtain the necessary documents.

Public Reaction: “Another Unnecessary Hurdle”

Parents and students have expressed frustration, calling the policy “another bureaucratic test” that complicates rather than simplifies admissions.

“First, they said no domicile was needed, now they’re asking for the father’s. Many of us don’t have these papers readily available,” said a concerned parent outside a Karachi college.

Admission Timeline

• Last date to apply: July 15, 2025
• Merit lists display: From July 22, 2025
• Seat confirmation: Students must confirm admission within the deadline, or their seats will be given to the next candidate.

Why the Change?

Officials claim the move is aimed at reducing fraud and ensuring authentic enrollment, but critics argue it disadvantages families with missing or outdated documentation.

What Should Students Do Now?

• Arrange father’s domicile immediately to avoid last-minute delays.
• Keep track of merit lists from July 22 onward.
• Confirm admission before the deadline to secure a seat.

The policy shift continues to stir debate, with many calling for a revision to make the process more student-friendly.
