GCUH Pre-Admission Test 2027 Schedule in Hyderabad, Sindh: Check Your Date and Lab, 11 to 15 November

We downloaded GCUH's "List of Candidates and Test Schedule for the Computerized Pre-Admission Test, GCUH 2027" on 10 November 2026 and counted every row. We also read the test pattern notice dated 3 November 2026. This page gives you the slots, the labs and the marks split, so you know what to expect before you walk in.

The GCUH test runs over five days, 11 to 15 November 2026

The list has 3,699 candidates spread over 18 slots. The first four days have four slots each. Sunday 15 November has two morning slots only. Almost every slot holds about 220 candidates, so arrive early and know your lab.

Note the Friday afternoon slot. On 13 November the early afternoon test is at 1:30 pm, not 1:00 pm. The 3:00 pm slot on Saturday has only three candidates.

How to find your GCUH test date, time and lab

The PDF is sorted by group and then by name, with your C.ID beside your name. It runs to 59 pages, so search it rather than scrolling. The schedule is fixed per candidate, and the list does not say you can change your slot.

1. Open gcuh.edu.pk and go to Admissions, then Undergraduate, or use the "Pre-Admission Test: Candidate List and Schedule" link.
2. Download the PDF and press Ctrl+F (or Find on your phone).
3. Type your C.ID from the admission portal, adm.gcuh.edu.pk. If you do not know it, search your name as on your form.
4. Read across your row: group, test date, test time and venue or lab.
5. Write it down or take a screenshot, and check it again the day before.

Seven computer labs host the test

All tests are on computers inside the campus at Kali Mori, Hyderabad, opposite Pinyari Police Station. The list names seven rooms across the Academic Block and the IT Building. Find your building first on test day.

Most candidates are pre-medical, about 2,000, followed by about 1,100 pre-engineering and about 440 computer science or general science students. Arts, humanities and commerce candidates are a few dozen in total. Pre-medical candidates aiming for MBBS as well should keep their MDCAT 2026 result and aggregate to hand, since medical colleges use that score, not the GCUH test.

The GCUH 2027 test pattern gives 60 marks to your own subjects

GCUH's notice No. GCUH/ADM/112 of 3 November 2026 sets the test pattern. Science and commerce tests have a 40 mark general part and a 60 mark subject part. Arts and humanities is all general. HEC Sanad and Home Economics are 70 general and 30 subject.

Pre-medical biology is split as 10 botany and 10 zoology. A-Level students are placed in the test group that matches their subjects. GCUH asks for at least 50 per cent in HSC-II. If you sat the Hyderabad board, our BISE Hyderabad HSC result guide shows how to check your marks.

The old 22 to 25 October test dates no longer apply

GCUH's admission advertisement for 2027 gave the pre-entry test as 22 to 25 October 2026 and the merit list as 2 November 2026. The candidate list now sets the test for 11 to 15 November, so those printed dates have passed without use. The advertisement itself says GCUH may postpone or revise the test schedule.

The list does not give a new merit list date. For questions, the advertisement lists the admissions office on 022-2111856, WhatsApp 0313-1337440 and dir.adm@gcuh.edu.pk. Other Sindh options with their own tests are in our page on the Sindh Talent Hunt Program 2027.
