Private students:

Private students are those who choose to study from home. It means that they study on their own. You can read details of FA Subjects Combination for Private Students here. Students send a request for admission in the selected program through the board office by personal visit and get admission after completion of all formalities. They have nothing to do with any school or college. They only complete the course work of the chosen program and at the time of exams, they appear in board examination centers and get results in the form of mark sheets or degrees.

Students who want to get private admission in FA, will choose required subjects from the groups given by the board office or from the official website and make their combination out of the customary lists of subjects. There is plenty of subjects offered in FA programs and out of all those subjects, one from each group (Three in total) has to be combined accordingly.

Three subject’s combination is made out of all elective subjects which are followed by more three compulsory subjects (English, Urdu, and Islamiyat). Islamiyat is replaced with Pak studies in Part-II, 2^nd year of the program. An alternative subject for non-muslim students is Ethics instead of Islamiyat.

Complete details are given below.
