Khyber Medical University (KMU), Peshawar, successfully conducted the first day of the Computer-Based 2nd Centralized Admission Test (KMU-CAT-II 2026) for admission to Pharm-D, BS Nursing, Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), and Allied Health Sciences undergraduate programmes offered by 27 constituent and 224 affiliated institutes across Khyber Pakhtun Khwa and IHS Islamabad.
The admission test was conducted through a fully computer-based and paperless examination system, replacing the traditional paper-based format. The modern testing mechanism has been introduced to further enhance merit, transparency, efficiency, accuracy and convenience in the admission process.
A total of 22,305 candidates registered for the Second KMU-CAT 2026, while 13,177 candidates appeared on the first day at fully air-conditioned, computer-based examination centres established across Peshawar, Kohat, Malakand, Swat, Hazara, Chitral, D.I. Khan, Swabi, Buner, Kurram, Upper Dir, Lower Dir and Islamabad.
A key feature appreciated by students was the immediate declaration of results. Candidates were able to view their test results immediately after completing and logging out of the computer-based examination system. Students and parents appreciated the transparent process, efficient arrangements and prompt result declaration, describing the system as a significant improvement over conventional paper-based testing.
The successful conduct of the first day of the examination reflects KMU’s commitment to ensuring transparent, merit-based and technology-driven admissions. The University has also completed all necessary arrangements for the second day of KMU-CAT 2026 scheduled for October 4, 2026, with examination centres fully prepared to facilitate the candidates.
Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Rubina Nazli congratulated the candidates on successfully completing the first day of the admission test and appreciated the dedicated efforts of Directorate of Admissions, IT Experts, faculty and administration staff. She said that the fully computer-based and paperless testing system was an important step towards making admissions more efficient, transparent and accessible. She emphasized that KMU remained committed to ensuring a fair and merit-based admission process, providing every candidate an equal opportunity. She further said that the immediate availability of results after completion of the test had enhanced transparency and strengthened candidates’ confidence in the examination system.
