Extensive visit to Rahim Yar Khan, Sadiqabad, Bahawalpur, and Lodhran

The National Outreach Programme continued its engagement across South Punjab with an extensive visit to Rahim Yar Khan, Sadiqabad, Bahawalpur, and Lodhran, reaching approximately 1,570 students across 13 institutions. The outreach brought meaningful interaction to both government and private sector institutions, reinforcing NOP’s commitment to equitable access to higher education.

In Rahim Yar Khan, sessions at Punjab Daanish School (Boys and Girls) and Sheikh Zayd Higher Secondary School allowed the team to connect with a large and academically motivated student body. Engagement with Daanish Schools remained a significant step in strengthening access for high-potential students from financially constrained backgrounds. Discussions centered on admissions transparency, financial aid support, and the Summer Coaching Session pathway.

The visit to Sadiqabad included Madrisa Tul Binaat and Iqra School and Colleges, including its Bypass campus. The sessions witnessed strong female participation and thoughtful engagement from students eager to understand eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, and long-term academic planning. Students were guided on how merit and financial need are evaluated together within the admissions framework.

In Bahawalpur city, outreach activities at Dominican Convent Higher Secondary School, Government Graduate College for Women, and Government Postgraduate and Degree College extended the programme’s reach to diverse academic streams. Particular emphasis was placed on clarifying misconceptions surrounding affordability and reinforcing that financial constraints do not limit access to LUMS.

The concluding leg in Lodhran, at Alizium School & College and AIMS School and College, focused on structured guidance regarding SCS 2026 applications and financial verification procedures. Pre-medical students received dedicated counselling related to the BS Biology programme and research innovation at SBASSE. Institutional counselors were also provided hands-on guidance to better support applicants in completing the SCS process.

This base visit strengthened NOP’s footprint in Southern Punjab, ensuring that talented students from historically underrepresented districts are informed, encouraged, and equipped to pursue competitive higher education opportunities.
