Ziauddin University Postgraduate Training Admissions 2026-27 – FCPS-II, MD/MS, MCPS & Diplomas in Karachi, Apply by 14 November

Ziauddin University has opened postgraduate medical and dental training admissions for the 2026-27 academic session. The university is taking online applications for FCPS-II training in 19 specialties, MD and MS training in 22 specialties, MCPS training in 3 specialties and postgraduate diplomas in 3 disciplines. The last date to submit the online application is 14 November 2026, and the entry test will be held on 21 November 2026 in Karachi and Islamabad.

This is a training admission, not a regular salaried job: selected doctors join structured postgraduate residency training at Ziauddin University’s hospitals and teaching facilities, with training starting in the first week of January 2027. It is one of the largest postgraduate medical training intakes in Karachi this year, and it matters most to doctors who have finished their house job and want a CPSP fellowship, an MD or MS degree, or an MCPS qualification.

Last date to apply online: 14 November 2026. The entry test is on 21 November 2026, so apply early and keep the test date free.

Ziauddin University Postgraduate Training 2026-27 – Programmes on Offer

Eligibility Criteria for Ziauddin University PG Training Admissions

FCPS-II training: An MBBS or BDS degree, a completed one-year house job, and a pass in FCPS-I in the relevant discipline. Candidates must have passed FCPS-I before they can join FCPS-II training, so check that your FCPS-I result covers the specialty you are applying for.

MD / MS, MCPS and diploma programmes: An MBBS degree and a completed one-year house job. These tracks do not ask for an FCPS-I pass, which makes them the right route for doctors who want a university degree or a shorter MCPS or diploma qualification rather than a CPSP fellowship.

All applicants must hold a valid PMDC registration. The university will conduct an entrance test and interviews as part of selection, so admission depends on merit in the test and interview, not only on meeting the minimum eligibility.

Entry Test and Selection – What to Expect

The entrance test will be held on Saturday, 21 November 2026, at centres in Karachi and Islamabad at the same time, so candidates from outside Karachi do not have to travel to Karachi only for the test. The university has not published a test syllabus in the summaries of the advertisement, so candidates should prepare on the standard postgraduate medical entrance pattern for their chosen discipline and confirm the test venue and reporting time on the admission portal after they apply.

Shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview after the test. Final selection is made on merit, and the selected residents begin their training in the first week of January 2027. Because the gap between the application deadline and the test is only one week, candidates should submit the online form well before 14 November and keep their documents ready for the interview stage.

Why Apply for Ziauddin University Postgraduate Training

Ziauddin University is one of Karachi’s established private medical universities, with its own hospitals and a large teaching faculty. Its postgraduate training covers nearly every major medical and surgical specialty in a single intake, so a doctor can apply for a fellowship, a degree or a diploma route without waiting for separate announcements from different hospitals.

The scale of the intake also matters: 19 FCPS-II specialties and 22 MD/MS specialties in one session means the university is filling training slots across its departments at the same time. For doctors who have just finished their house job, this is one of the main Karachi routes into specialist training for the January 2027 session.
