Question

Hi,

So, I am reading about the documents that you need to attach with your PTAP application and I am a bit confused.

It says: "Candidates ...must submit their complete applications on the prescribed application form (in triplicate)... along with the duly attested copies."

So, do I need to have three copies of the application form and only one copy of my passport (as a proof of my foreign nationality), one copy of my transcript and other documents that they asked for?
Or, do I need three copies of everything?

I would really appreciate it if someone replied back ASAP!
Thank you

You'll need to submit three copies of everything. It's silly and inefficient, but that's the way it goes!

Question

I have another question about the PTAP form. On p. 3 of the form, it says:

NOMINATING AUTHORITY.
Signature of Authorized Officer??????????..
Name?????????????????????..
Official Seal???????????????????

Do we have to fill this out or is this for the PTAP people to fill out?

Hi,

Quick question: You guys know how you have to send in three copies of everything with the PTAP application form, well I was wondering if I need to send in three sealed copies of my transcript? Can I just send in one sealed copy and photocopy the two others? Or, should I just send in three photocopies?

I am just asking because I am applying through HEC too and the amount of copies I need of my transcripts is adding up to a ridiculous number.

I applied for both hec and ptap last year and it was true for both but you are right this year for sf under hec only student needs to be foreign national. For ptap student and a parent both needs to be foreign national.

Interestingly for sfs under jec the Merit for Pak Origin students will be determined as per following formula:

Intermediate/equivalent. -60% weightage
Entry Test/SAT-II. - 40% weightage

Last year they only used intermediate marks.

Hey,
I was wondering if the people who applied through PTAP this year(for 2012-2013 session) can share their marks. I am going paranoid and EAD takes forever to put up a merit list so I just wanted an idea of how my marks match up to other people's.

I got 845/1100 from IBCC and my SAT marks were around 650-700ish.
I would really appreciate if you guys could share your marks too.
