Students in Azad Jammu and Kashmir have gained a major new pathway to international-standard education. Pak-Turk Maarif International Schools & Colleges has announced the launch of MAGIS 2026-1, a competitive, merit-based entrance exam that also offers scholarship opportunities to high-performing students across Pakistan.
For the first time, MAGIS is being introduced in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, a move seen as a significant milestone for the region’s education landscape. The initiative coincides with the establishment of the Pak-Turk Maarif International AJK Muzaffarabad Campus, expanding access to globally aligned curricula closer to home.
Who Can Apply
Eligible students may seek admission in:
-
Grades 4 to 9
-
IGCSE-1
Selections will be based purely on academic merit through the MAGIS entrance examination, designed to identify students with strong academic potential and learning aptitude.
Why This Matters
Maarif institutions are known for combining modern education standards with strong academic discipline. The introduction of MAGIS in AJK not only creates scholarship opportunities but also reduces the need for students to relocate to other cities for quality schooling.
Education professionals see this expansion as a step toward bridging regional gaps in access to high-quality international education, while strengthening academic ties between Pakistan and Türkiye.
Application schedules and exam details are expected to be announced by the institution in the coming days.
