The University of Health Sciences (UHS) Lahore has announced admissions to the four-year BS Nursing programme for the 2026-27 academic session, offering 6,100 seats in 45 government nursing colleges across Punjab, 24NewsHD TV reported on Sunday.
According to the admission schedule, 3,100 seats have been reserved for the morning shift, while 3,000 seats will be available in the evening shift.
Online applications will open on 19 November at 9am and close on 3 December at 5pm. Candidates can apply through the UHS admission portal.
To qualify for admission, applicants must have passed FSc Pre-Medical or an equivalent examination with at least 50 per cent marks. A Punjab domicile is also compulsory, while the maximum age limit is 35 years.
Most of the seats are for female candidates. Male candidates are eligible only at the College of Nursing, Government Teaching Hospital, Shahdara, Lahore, according to the admission guide.
According to the schedule, the provisional merit list will be announced on 30 December 2026, followed by the final merit list on 1 January 2027. The first selection list will be issued on 4 January, the second on 8 January, and the third on 14 January 2027.
UHS has advised candidates to carefully read the admission policy and eligibility requirements before applying.
UHS is the central admitting university for medical and allied health education in Punjab, and it runs the centralised admission process for the province’s public-sector nursing colleges.
The large intake follows a decision by the university’s Syndicate on 29 October to approve 1,100 additional evening BS Nursing seats at 18 public-sector nursing colleges across the province, expanding the evening programme.
The expansion comes as Punjab’s public hospitals continue to need more trained nurses, and the four-year BS Nursing degree remains one of the main routes into the profession for young people across the province.
Admissions to the programme are made strictly on merit, based on FSc marks, and selected candidates will be required to pay the admission fee within the given deadline to secure their seats.
