The original deposit slip containing the candidate’s token number, project code and personal information should be retained.
Applicants should not share their payment slip or personal application information with third parties.
ETEA Roll Number Slip
Candidates will receive information through SMS from ETEA regarding downloading and printing their roll number slips.

The university application form will be available through the official UET Mardan website.
Qualified candidates must submit the university application along with the required documents within 15 days of the intimation of results.

These include:
- Degrees and certificates
