ISLAMABAD: Pak-Turk Maarif International Schools and Colleges have announced the launch of MAGIS 2026-1 (Maarif Entrance Exam), a merit-based admission and scholarship program designed to recognize and support talented students across Pakistan.
For the first time, MAGIS is being introduced in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), marking a historic milestone for students in the region.
This expansion is further strengthened by the inauguration of the Pak-Turk Maarif International AJK Muzaffarabad Campus, opening doors to quality education and new opportunities.
Eligible students can apply for admission in Grades 4 to 9, as well as IGCSE-1, with scholarships awarded based on academic merit.
This initiative reflects Türkiye’s ongoing commitment to fostering education and cross-cultural exchange in Pakistan.
Expanding Access to Quality Education
According to educationists, the launch of MAGIS 2026-1 in AJK represents more than just an admission process—it is a strategic effort to provide world-class education to a historically underserved region.
With the new Muzaffarabad campus, students will have access to modern classrooms, advanced learning resources, and an internationally-aligned curriculum that prepares them for global opportunities.
Merit and Opportunity at the Core
According to Professor Noor Salim, a noted educationist, MAGIS is designed to reward academic excellence and potential, ensuring that scholarships go to students who demonstrate strong performance and dedication.
This merit-based approach encourages healthy competition while motivating students to reach their highest potential, fostering a culture of learning, ambition, and achievement in AJK.
Bridging Cultures and Building Future Leaders
Pak-Turk Maarif International Schools and Colleges are known for promoting cross-cultural understanding, combining Turkish educational values with local context.
Students will benefit not only from rigorous academics but also from leadership programs, extracurricular activities, and exposure to international perspectives, preparing them to thrive both locally and globally.
A Historic Milestone for AJK Students
For the first time, AJK students can now access the same high-quality opportunities previously available only in Pakistan’s major cities. The initiative opens doors for a new generation of scholars to excel in academics, sports, arts, and technology, transforming the educational landscape of the region.
Supporting National Education Goals
According to the management of Pak-Turk Maarif International Schools and Colleges, this program aligns with Pakistan’s broader mission to enhance educational standards, inclusivity, and global competitiveness.
By offering scholarships and top-tier education, MAGIS 2026-1 contributes to building a stronger, more skilled, and socially aware youth population across AJK and the country.
