Computer Science top choice of XI students in Karachi

The admission process for the academic year 2025-26 in government intermediate colleges across Sindh has been completed.

A total of 169,923 students have secured admissions in various colleges across Sindh, including Karachi, which is approximately 30 per cent more than the previous year.

The automated online process is conducted via Sindh Electronic Centralized College Admission Programme (SECAP). Classes for the new academic session for the XI are set to begin on August 5. According to Dr. Naveed Rab Siddiqui, Director General of Colleges Sindh, the highest number of admissions this year was in Computer Science, which is proof that students are now prioritizing technology-related fields over traditional subjects.

The DG explained that for the first time, college principals have been given the authority to handle admission transfers, claims, and cancellations, allowing students to access these services directly at their colleges. This development is expected to save time and reduce travel expenses for students, making the admission process more efficient and convenient.
