Expert Tips

• Build your CV around the eight-exhibition threshold: The professional activity requirement specifies at least eight exhibitions at national or international level with two or more new works in each. Document each exhibition with its name, venue, year, and list of works shown. The selection committee will verify this against your portfolio evidence.
• Prepare a strong art and design portfolio for the interview: Professor-level interviews at art universities expect a comprehensive portfolio presentation. Organize your portfolio by discipline, showing depth of practice across exhibitions, campaigns, or discipline-specific works. Bring physical or digital samples of your strongest work.
• Highlight post-PhD or post-MPhil experience separately: The 8-year post-qualification experience is a distinct requirement. Create a clearly labelled section on your CV that isolates post-PhD or post-MPhil roles with dates, so shortlisting committees can verify it without having to calculate manually.
• Submit a separate application and bank challan for each post: If applying to more than one department, a separate application form and a separate bank challan of Rs. 5,000/- is required for each. A single application covering multiple departments will not be accepted.
• Align your statement of purpose with SABSU's Art, Design and Heritage mission: SABSU is a specialized university of Art, Design and Heritage. In your interview and cover letter, connect your research, exhibitions, or design practice to cultural heritage, arts development, or design innovation in Pakistan to stand out over generic applicants.
