NTS in Hyderabad

Published December 8, 2020

THE National Testing Service (NTS) conducts the Graduate Assessment Test (GAT) five to six times every year in multiple cities across the country.

This test is meant for candidates intending to get themselves enrolled in MS/MPhil programmes in different universities.

The NTS in Sindh used to conduct this test in Karachi and Hyderabad. However, since August, the testing at the Hyderabad examination centre has been abolished which has caused great inconvenience to candidates belonging to the interior of Sindh who now have to travel hundreds of miles. The testing service should restore its Hyderabad examination centre for GAT test.
