How the dates are kept
Official sources, checked every month
Every test date comes from the body that sets it, or its official partner in Pakistan, and links to that page. On the first days of each month our AI check reads those pages again. A change goes live by itself only when the page shows the new date in the words the check quotes; anything else waits for our team to check it by hand. “Checked on” is the last day a person or the check found the date on its page.
A few official sources can't be read automatically, so our team checks them by hand: NUST's admission pages, Cambridge's timetables and key dates (PDFs), British Council Pakistan's pages, and other notices published only as PDFs, such as AKU's admission guide.
Competitions are checked in the months before their dates. A few of their dates come from reports rather than the organiser's own site: those link to the page we used, marked Source instead of Official source.
Tentative means the official page calls the date tentative or projected. Not announced yet means the body hasn't published it: we show the month it usually falls in, never a day.
Always confirm a date on the official page before you register or pay. Questions? Get in touch.
