KARACHI, Sept 16: The much-awaited list of candidates seeking admission to government colleges and higher secondary schools under the centralised admission policy (CAP) is being issued on Sunday.

Sources in the CAP committee, which prepares the list, told Dawn that unlike the past practice of issuing gender-wise placement lists six faculties — science (pre-engineering and pre-medical), computer science, commerce, humanities and home economics — separately with a gap of two/three days, it was decided that placement lists of two and three faculties be issued simultaneously in order to avoid further delay in the commencement of first-year classes.

The sources said that the lists being issued on Sunday pertained to pre-engineering (male), computer science (both male and female) and home economics.

The candidates willing to seek admission to any of the institutions in which they have been placed will be given one week to complete the procedural formalities i.e. submission of admission forms and fee.

The new academic session for these students of the city’s government colleges and higher secondary schools is expected to begin in the last week of this month, instead of Sept 10 as was originally scheduled.

The academic session of the students of remaining faculties — pre-medical (both male and female), pre-engineering (female), commerce (male and female) and humanities (male and female) — would being in the first week of October as their placement lists would be issued sometime next week, the sources said.
