Applicants must meet the minimum eligibility criteria to be considered for admission to the Programme. The International Mathematics Master (IMM-LUMS) Programme at the Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering (SBASSE) is a two-year Programme.
Admission is purely merit-based and rests solely on the following criteria:
- Academic Record;
- Performance in Admission Tests;
- Application Review;
- Interview Performance (if shortlisted);
- Letters of Recommendation; and
- Submission of complete Online Application and supporting documents by the stipulated deadline
NOTE: These are the minimum criteria applicants need to fulfill to be eligible to apply. Fulfillment of these criteria does not guarantee admission to IMM-LUMS.
