How selection works

Two stages: online test, then in person

Everyone eligible takes the same online test from home, anywhere in Pakistan or overseas. Only shortlisted students travel, once, for the in-person stage.

01
Apply with your NSDP account
Sign in and fill in the form. Your courses are checked automatically: 90%+ completed, 75%+ attendance for live and on-campus classes, 60%+ quiz and assignment averages, fee cleared.
02
Eligibility verified
NSDP confirms your course record and your details, then invites you to the online test.
03
Stage 1: online screening test
A timed multiple-choice test on the NSDP portal in a scheduled window. Questions are shuffled for every student, there is one attempt, the test runs full-screen and leaving the test window is logged.
04
Ranking & shortlist
Combined score: test 60% + course performance 40% (quiz average, assignment average and attendance). The highest scores are shortlisted.
05
Stage 2: in-person verification
At an NSDP campus or office: original CNIC check and a short supervised re-test or viva to confirm your online score.
06
Decision
Approved students are told where and when to collect their laptop.

Why two stages?

The online test is fair and quick for thousands of applicants and gives instant scores. The in-person stage checks your original CNIC and re-tests you under supervision, so nobody can win a place with a faked score or by sending someone else, and only the shortlist has to travel.
