Thanks to JnS Education for bringing Pearson PTE-A to Islamabad, Pakistan. JnS Education has been running PTE Academic testing in Dubai, Bahrain and Kuwait since 2012. It is after consistent hard work and arduous effort of JnS management that brought back PTE-A back to Pakistan after it had been pulled out in Year 2012 due to the security issues in the country.

We feel that it is a great give-back to our beloved Pakistani nation. Management of the JnS has thanked the PTE administration for reposing trust in Pakistan and providing relief to the locals, adding that it is surely going to attract large number of applications from students and job seekers.
