Sukkur IBA University, in collaboration with the Government of Sindh, has opened applications for the Sindh Talent Hunt Program (STHP) 2027.

Talent Hunt Program Mein Apply Karne Ka Tareeqa
Applications are submitted online through Sukkur IBA University’s official admission portal at applyadmission.iba-suk.edu.pk. Before you start, keep your Sindh domicile and your Intermediate result documents ready, and check the official portal for the exact document list announced for this year. Fill the form carefully, because selection is competitive and incomplete applications can be rejected.
Submit well before 29 October 2026. Thousands of students apply for only 200 foundation seats, and the portal can slow down near the deadline. After submission, watch your portal account for your test slip and test centre details ahead of 8 November.
Who Can Apply
The programme is open to students who hold a valid domicile of Sindh province and have passed Intermediate or an equivalent qualification. According to the university’s official announcement, candidates who completed Intermediate or an equivalent examination in 2024, 2025, or 2026 are eligible to apply. Students from any recognised examination board can submit applications, provided they meet the announced eligibility conditions.
Selection is based on merit and financial need together. The announcement does not specify a minimum percentage of Intermediate marks or a maximum age limit for initial applications, so students should not assume a cut-off that was never announced. Candidates should consult the university’s admission announcements for any additional eligibility requirements before applying.
What Selected Students Get
The 200 students selected for the foundation semester receive a complete support package designed to remove financial barriers before degree study begins. This includes a 100% tuition fee waiver during the foundation semester, free books and study manuals, Rs 5,500 per month for living expenses, and an additional monthly stipend of Rs 4,000 — a total of Rs 9,500 per month for each selected student.
The foundation semester focuses on English, Mathematics, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT), building the academic preparation students need for undergraduate study. Hostel accommodation is not provided during the foundation semester, so students travelling to Sukkur from other cities should plan their living arrangements in advance.
From the foundation group, the top 100 students who meet the required academic standard, including a minimum 2.2 GPA, are offered the full STHP scholarship at Sukkur IBA University’s Main Campus: a 100% admission and tuition fee waiver for four years (8 semesters), plus a monthly stipend of Rs 5,000 for eight semesters, subject to maintaining the required CGPA.
Test Day: 8 November 2026
The admission test for STHP 2027 will be held on 8 November 2026. Test centres announced for the programme are Sukkur, Hyderabad, Karachi, Mirpurkhas, Larkana, and Naushahro Feroze. Candidates should check their portal account for their assigned centre and reporting time, and carry the documents specified on their test slip.
Preparation matters because only the top performers advance. The foundation semester itself is academic preparation, but the entry test decides who gets one of the 200 seats in the first place. Students who treat the test casually risk losing a fully funded opportunity over a single day’s performance.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The most common mistake is waiting until the last date. With the deadline on 29 October 2026 and the test on 8 November, late applicants leave themselves no room to fix a rejected document or a portal error. Another mistake is applying without a valid Sindh domicile, which the programme clearly requires.
Some students also assume hostel accommodation is included, or that the degree scholarship is automatic after the foundation semester. Neither is true: hostel is not provided during the foundation phase, and the four-year scholarship goes only to the top 100 students who maintain the required 2.2 GPA. Read the official announcement before you apply, and do not trust social media posts that promise seats or guaranteed selection for a fee.
