PakUni
A centralized admissions portal for Pakistani universities — an OUAC-style workflow where applicants create one reusable profile and submit to multiple programs through a single guided flow.
What it does
Platform Overview
- One reusable applicant profile with Pakistan-specific fields (CNIC, domicile, Matric/Inter)
- Document locker to upload and reuse transcripts across applications
- Program discovery and selection with a structured review-and-submit flow
- Server-side validation for required fields and document formats
- Full-stack MVP with an admissions-style multi-step workflow engine
Context
The Problem
Students applying to multiple Pakistani universities repeatedly re-enter the same information across different portals and forms.
Requirements vary by program, and missing documents or fields cause delays and confusion with no unified way to manage it.

How It Works
Guided Workflow Engine
Step-by-step onboarding — profile → academics → documents → program selection → review — enforcing completion before progression.
Pakistan-Specific Validation
Enforces formats for CNIC and passport numbers, domicile fields, grade-level structures (Matric/Inter), and required document checks.
Reusable Data Model
Stores one canonical applicant profile attached to multiple program submissions, eliminating repeated data entry.
Submission Readiness
Completeness checks and clear missing-items indicators surface exactly what's needed before a submission can proceed.
