Categories of seats in Pakistani colleges.

First thing first, let’s classify the categories of seats:

Local seat - you’ve been in Pakistan since day one and have studied here forever. You are also eligible for this seat if (and only if) you’ve been studying in Pakistan for the previous 4 years upon application

Overseas Pakistani's must have this card.

Overseas Pakistani - if you’re a person like me who lived outside of Pakistan for his whole life but still managed to keep his Pakistani citizenship somehow. You are only included if you have an overseas Pakistan card (from NADRA). If you’re not sure about possessing one, ask your dad because he’s probably the one who went through hours of ''khuwari'' to get you that card you so easily neglected until now.

International seat - you have nothing to do with Pakistan and have come here from a different country.

Seats and fees:

Locals - only pay local fees (30,000-50,000Rs per year)

International - ($15,000-$20,000USD per year)

Overseas Pakistani - DEPENDING ON THE COLLEGE YOUR APPLYING FOR MAY CHARGE YOU LOCAL OR INTERNATIONAL FEES.

This is the small but enormous problem we overseers Pakistani’s face. Colleges have the choice to either include us in local or international seat categories. And because most colleges are in it for the money they pretty much always include overseas Pakistanis in the international seat category.
