The answer depends on the specific engineering program and the university you are applying to.
In most cases, ECAT (Engineering College Admission Test) is not compulsory for admission to engineering programs in Pakistan.
However, there are some exceptions:
- Public Universities: Some public universities in Pakistan require ECAT scores for admission to their engineering programs.
- Specific Engineering Programs: Certain specialized engineering programs, like computer science or electrical engineering, might require ECAT scores even at universities that do not mandate it for other engineering disciplines.
- Merit-Based Scholarships: Some scholarships or merit-based admissions may require a minimum ECAT score.
Therefore, it is crucial to check the specific admission requirements of the university and engineering program you are interested in.
You can find this information on the university's website or by contacting the admissions office directly.
