1. Account Creation

  • Applicants who have previously created an account with LUMS Online Admissions within the last two years do not need to create a new one. You can apply for the Fall 2025 admissions using the same account by logging in with your previous credentials (Username and Password). 
  • If you are a new applicant, you can create a new account by visiting the LUMS Online Admissions Portal. Instructions for account creation are available at the top right corner of the Account Creation page. 
  • Applications for various degree programmes can be managed through a single account. We strongly recommend creating only one account for your online application. This account can be used for future applications as well. 
  • Upon successful account creation, you will receive a verification email. Once verified, you can log in to the LUMS Online Admissions system using your Username and Password. 
  • For security, please ensure you keep your sign-in details (Username and Password) secure and do not share them with anyone. These credentials are essential for accessing and managing your application throughout the process.
