About LUMS
The Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) is
a national university, established by sponsors belonging
to the country’s leading private and public sector
corporations.
The University has built a credible reputation and
has expanded rapidly since its establishment. It has
three schools: Suleman Dawood School of Business (SDSB),
School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS) and
School of Science and Engineering (SSE).
Suleman
Dawood School of Business (SDSB)
The Business School was the first school established
at the Lahore University of Management Sciences in 1986.
It offers a two-year MBA, and a two-year Executive MBA,
in addition to a PhD in Management. It also provides
executive development education through its Executive
Administrator Development Center (EDC). At the Bachelors
level, the SDSB offers a BSc (Hons) in Accounting &

School
of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS)
The School of Humanities and Social Sciences was formed
on July 1, 2006. It comprises three departments: Economics,
Law and Policy, and Social Sciences. These departments
were previously part of the School of Arts and Sciences
which has now given way to two new schools: the School
of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS), and the School
of Science and Engineering (SSE).
SHSS offers a four-year BSc (Honors) degree, a five-year
degree in Law and Policy (BA-LLB) and a one-year MSc
degree in Economics. Majors in Economics and Social
Sciences are offered by the SHSS. From the academic
year 2006 – 2007 two new majors have been introduced,
one in Economics and Mathematics by the Economics department
and the Mathematics department jointly, and the other
in Politics and Economics by the Social Sciences department
and the Economics department jointly.

The School of Science and Engineering (SSE) will start
in Fall 2008 with new undergraduate programs in Physics,

Admission to the SDSB, SHSS and SSE is on the basis

SAT I, and consists primarily of multiple-choice questions,
that measure verbal and mathematical reasoning abilities.
The test has two components: LCAT-I and LCAT-II.
The LCAT-I is a one-hour multiple-choice test that
measures basic verbal and mathematical abilities. All
students applying to LUMS (SSE/SDSB/SHSS) are required
to take the LCAT-I.
The LCAT-II is a two-hour test probing verbal and mathematical
abilities further. Students applying to the SDSB/SHSS
are required to take both the LCAT-I and LCAT-II while
students exclusively applying to the SSE are required
to take the LCAT-I only (in addition to the SSE admission
test).
All applicants residing in Pakistan are required to
take the LCAT. Exemptions are available for the following
students:
- Foreign nationals
- Overseas Pakistani nationals
- Applicants residing in Pakistan having more than
2100 score in the new SAT I and with one of the following
academic qualifications:
- O' Levels with 6 A grades
- Matric with 80% marks and FA (1st year/ final
year) with 70% marks /FSc (1st year/ final year)with
75% marks
- American High School Diploma (at least 90%)
