Limited funds, mostly recieved from donations of different Muslim countries, and Zakat donations are available for extremely deserving students for the award of financial assitance. The stipends of these awards may only supplement a part of the total expenses, and in no way are means for all the expenses incurred by the candidates yearly expenses.

Therefore, candidates applying for admission and their parents/guardians must be prepared to defray full or substantial part of the expenses themselves. Overseas students may not be allowed to work within Pakistan on their Student Visa, therefore they need to be prepared before hand ofr the full duration costs of their study.

Living Costs For students living on campus housing, that is the hostels, should include additional monthly miscellaneous expenses of approximately Pak.Rs. 1000-2000, depending upon their personal needs, etc.

Married couples intending to study, or students intending to keep their families with them whilst their duration of study, should calculate additional living expenses as described below.

1. Average 2-Bed Apartment Monthly Rent: Pak.Rs. 8000-10,000

4. Utilities (Phone,Gas,Electric): Pak.Rs. 1000-2000
5. Additional Misc. Expenses: Pak.Rs. 2000

These are just rough approximates currently (July '97) to give an idea. Keep in mind that with time, these are subject to change due to inflation, price hikes, etc.

Money Exchange Overseas foreign students can easily exchange foreign currencies, as there are several money changers available in Islamabad, as well as other major cities of Pakistan. Local banks also hold foreign currency accounts, thus making it easier to wire mony from overseas and then getting it changed at local money changers for personal use. Many foreign banks are also available within Islamabad, such as Citibank, American Express Bank, Hong Kong Bank, Emirates Bank, and many others.
