HEC Gives Students More Time for USAT and HAT Registration

The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has announced an extension of the registration deadline for the Undergraduate Studies Admission Test (USAT) and the Higher Education Aptitude Test (HAT), providing students with more time to apply for these crucial entrance exams. The decision comes in response to requests from students and educational institutions seeking additional time due to technical issues, high application volume, and ongoing academic schedules.

Undergraduate Studies Admission Test (USAT)

• A mandatory entrance test for students seeking admission to undergraduate programs across Pakistan.

• Evaluates analytical skills, problem-solving abilities, and subject knowledge.

• Accepted by numerous public and private universities nationwide.

Higher Education Aptitude Test (HAT)

• Required for candidates applying for HEC scholarships and admissions in postgraduate programs.

• Helps assess a candidate’s aptitude, reasoning, and academic readiness.

An HEC spokesperson explained the reason behind the extension:

“Due to repeated requests from students and institutions, as well as technical issues faced during the initial registration period, the commission has decided to extend the deadline. Our goal is to ensure maximum participation and equal access to higher education opportunities.”

• Ensure accurate entry of personal and academic information

• Complete payment before the new deadline

• Regularly check the HEC portal and registered email for updates

• Keep a printed copy of the admit card for the test day

• Prepare thoroughly using the sample papers available on the HEC website

The extension has been welcomed by students nationwide, especially those from remote areas who faced connectivity issues or delays in document preparation. Academic experts also believe the move will reduce stress and give candidates ample time to prepare for the tests.

The HEC’s decision to extend the registration deadline for USAT and HAT provides students with a valuable opportunity to complete their applications and prepare effectively for these high-stakes tests. Candidates are advised to apply early to avoid last-minute technical glitches and ensure a smooth registration process.
