GIKI Admission Test 2027
GIKI Undergraduate Admission Test — the admission test for BS Engineering and Computing at GIKI (AI, Computer Engineering, CS, Data Science, Software Engineering, Cyber Security, Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, Civil and others).
What GIKI Admission Test is for
GIKI conducts its own computer-based admission test for all of its undergraduate engineering and computing programmes. It is the heaviest-weighted entry test in Pakistan: the test carries 85% of GIKI merit, with HSSC Part I at 10% and SSC at 5%.
There is one sitting per cycle, so preparation has to peak on a single date. GIKI is fully residential and shortlisted candidates are called for interview before final admission.
Accepted for
- All GIKI BS engineering programmes
- All GIKI BS computing programmes (AI, CS, DS, SE, CyS)
- Merit: 85% test, 10% HSSC-I, 5% SSC
Test centres: Topi + national test centres

Test pattern & marking
With only 80 questions in about two hours, GIKI gives you 90 seconds a question, the most of any engineering test. The questions use that time: Physics carries the same weight as Mathematics and leans on multi-step mechanics and electricity problems. English is a full quarter of the paper.

Do one past paper untimed to learn the style, then switch to the timed mocks below. Re-solve every question you got wrong after three days.
Go to mock series ↓Skills that lift your GIKI Test score
Multi-step Physics
Mechanics, electrostatics and circuits problems often chain two or three ideas. Practise full solutions, not just recall.
Use the extra time well
90 seconds a question means fewer gimmes. Check each answer once before moving on.
English is 25%
Reading comprehension and vocabulary can swing your rank. Do one passage a day.
Peak on one date
There is only one sitting, so schedule your last full mocks in the final two weeks.
Skip Chemistry for GIKI
Spend that time on Physics and English instead.
Interview readiness
Be ready to talk about why engineering and why GIKI.
Your 10-week path to 80%+
The dashed line is the target curve for an hour a day. Your own diagnostic, sectional and mock scores on this device plot on top of it, so you can see whether you are ahead or behind.
Take the diagnostic to plot your first point.
Prep & mock test series
Work through the stages in order. Each mock uses its own questions, so a score from mock 3 is a fresh measurement, not a memory test.
