Admissions

Admissions
1. Applications are accepted year‑round. Families submit an online application through the school's online application portal, and the Admissions staff guide them through the transition to Pakistan School Nizwa. This stage establishes initial contact, clarifies which documents are needed, and begins the screening process. turn2view0

2. Gather and prepare required documents. Applicants must provide a range of documents, including the School Leaving Certificate (for class II and above), a Character Certificate, a Birth Certificate for KG, and copies of passports and valid visas for student and parents. Two copies of the passport and visa pages are required, along with six recent passport photos, an Immunization Certificate, and an Electricity Bill. The documents are checked for completeness before moving to the admission test. turn2view0

3. Verify eligibility and complete the admission test. The school determines suitability for admission through a formal entrance test, and the previous school leaving certificate does not guarantee admission. The test covers English, Maths, Science, and Urdu, and the syllabus can be obtained from the Academic Cell or school office. Following the test, there is a personal interview with the student and the parents/guardians. turn2view0

4. Attend the interview and complete the admission form. If the student qualifies the admission test, the parents/guardians proceed to fill the proper admission form and finish the remaining formalities. The accounts office will explain the available methods of payment and next steps. turn2view0

5. Pay the first fees and understand the payment details. The first fee slip includes charges for admission fees and one month's tuition, along with any other incidental charges if applicable; in some policy versions a refundable security deposit is included as well. Fees are charged from the date of the school leaving certificate for Class II and above. turn3view0

6. Meet language and age requirements for entry. The school is an English‑medium institution and requires workable knowledge of English for admission. For KG‑I, the minimum age is 4 years. These language and age prerequisites apply across different classes and are checked during the eligibility phase. turn2view0 turn3view0

7. Class‑level eligibility criteria and academic thresholds. Admission to classes I–VIII requires at least 40% in English, Mathematics, and Urdu in the qualifying assessment. CLSP (P‑I, P‑II, P‑III) requires at least 60% in the admission test to join. For IX, Science stream applicants must have at least 60% in Class VIII; those below 60% may be offered Arts. O' Level admission requires at least 60%, and A' Level requires five O'Level subjects with a minimum C grade. turn3view0

8. Additional class‑specific guidelines and re‑admission rules. Admission to XI and higher depends on SSC results with group allocation (e.g., Pre‑Medical or Pre‑Engineering requiring ≥60% overall; Commerce/General Science require ≥50% with ≥50% math; Humanities for scores below those thresholds). A migrating student may not sit for the admission test and must present a Migration Certificate/NOC; re‑admission rules apply if a student fails the annual house examination. turn3view0

9. Finalize inquiries and obtain guidance from designated contacts. For exam, admission, and fee inquiries, contact the named staff: Mr. Abdur Rashid and Mr. Touqir Khalid, with the corresponding emails and phone numbers provided for further assistance. This step completes the formal process and confirms the remaining administrative details. turn2view0 turn2view0
