AIOU Matric Science Spring 2026 Admissions Announced — Complete Application Guide
Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) has officially announced the opening of Matriculation (Science Group) admissions for the Spring 2026 session after VU Spring announcement. This recent announcement gives students across Pakistan and overseas a fresh opportunity to complete their Matric in the Science stream through a flexible, distance-learning model. With online admissions, affordable fees, and scheduled practical workshops, AIOU continues to make science education accessible for students who cannot attend regular schools.
Applying to AIOU is simple if you follow the right steps in the correct order. This guide walks you from account creation to final submission, helping you avoid common mistakes that cause late fees, form rejection, or unnecessary stress.
If you can use a smartphone and fill a basic online form, you can complete the entire process in 30–45 minutes.
Step 0 — Before you begin (prep checklist)
Before opening the website, take five minutes to prepare. Students who skip this step usually get stuck halfway.
You’ll need a valid B-Form or CNIC, because this is the primary ID for Spring 2026 admissions. Make sure you also have a working phone number and email, as AIOU sends OTPs for verification.
Your photo matters more than you think. Use a passport-size photo with a plain blue background—no filters, no selfies. Finally, keep around Rs. 5,000 ready for initial fees and small extra costs.
Step 1 — Use the official site and create your account
Open the AIOU Online Admission System at fmbp.aiou.edu.pk. Create your account using your phone number or email, then verify it through the OTP.
Avoid clicking random Google results or Facebook links. Always type the URL directly or bookmark it to stay safe from fake portals.
Step 2 — Build your profile correctly
When filling the profile:
Choose SSC (Matriculation) as program type.
Select Science Group (double-check this selection—changing later is tough).
Fill in accurate personal details; mismatches in name or CNIC cause delays.
Step 3 — Upload photo & documents
Upload your passport-size photo with a blue background and attach the required CNIC or B-Form scan.
Avoid casual photos. AIOU can reject unclear or informal images, which delays your application and may push you into the late-fee window.
Step 4 — Choose courses & confirm fee estimate
The Matric Science program includes Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics, along with compulsory subjects like English, Urdu, Islamiyat, and Pakistan Studies.
The cost is one of AIOU’s biggest advantages. For Semester 1, expect around Rs. 4,600–5,000, which is far lower than private schools. Always review the generated challan before moving ahead.
Step 5 — Pay challan and keep proof
Pay your challan through authorized banks such as MCB, UBL, ABL, or FWBL.
Whether you apply online or manually, keep your payment proof safe. If you submit documents via courier, keep the courier receipt as well. Lost forms do happen, and this receipt becomes your only evidence.
Step 6 — Final review & submission
Before you hit submit:
Re-check program group (Science).
Ensure phone and email are correct for OTPs and updates.
Double-check image and document attachments.
Submit at least one week before Feb 20, 2026 to avoid last-minute server issues.
If you prefer manual application (paper)
You can also apply manually by visiting a regional AIOU office or authorized sale point. Buy the prospectus, fill the form in black ink, attach the paid challan and documents, and send everything via courier.
Always keep the courier receipt—it’s your proof if anything goes missing.
What happens after submission?
After approval, AIOU sends your books to the address you provided. If they don’t arrive within 45 days, you can download soft copies from the official AIOU website.
Practical workshops will be scheduled at regional centers. Attending these workshops is mandatory to earn lab credits.
Passing strategy — set a study rhythm
AIOU grading splits into 30% assignments and 70% final exam. Do the assignments religiously; they are reliable marks and often contain answers found in your textbooks. Spend 30 minutes a day on reading and assignment completion instead of cramming. Consistency beats last-minute intensity.
