The GIKI Entry Test is often held in July, and registration typically opens in early June and closes in late June. This test is one of the few entry-level exams that still uses negative grading, and its format sets it apart from others.

It has been verified that this year’s exam will follow exactly the same format as the GIKI admission exam from last year. The exam will be paper-based and conducted concurrently at one time in several cities around Pakistan. The exam is only offered once, with no more dates scheduled.

The exam consists of three distinct subjects, two of which are included in a single section and are listed below along with their corresponding exam weights:

The English section of the paper does not contain any negative marking, but the math and physics sections have.

Time Administration

Given that there are 80 questions on the examination and just two hours allotted for it, time management is crucial. While the majority of the questions in the English portion call for attentive reading and analysis, the questions in the mathematics and physics sections require a complete revision of the topics, thus careful time management is necessary.

Prepare subjects specific to the syllabus

Since the course covers a large number of chapters and subjects, attention should be paid to which topics are covered in the syllabus. If you study for topics that are not covered in the syllabus, you will be wasting valuable time and effort.

If you run across any challenging questions on the paper, simply mark them with a pencil and come back to the answer later. This will save you time and allow you to go on to the next question.

Otherwise, negative marking could lower your score. But, there is a certain amount of risk, so bear that in mind as well and approach this part cautiously.

Try your best on every English part question.

Since there won’t be any negative marking for this section, it’s advisable to try answering every question, even if you don’t know the answer.
