Merit Generation Criteria
The NUST merit criteria for undergraduate admissions is a competitive process, prioritizing a balanced evaluation of academic performance and entrance test results. Specifically, 75% of the merit is determined by the NET (NUST Entry Test) score, 15% by HSSC or equivalent results, and 10% from SSC or O-level performance. The NUST merit list 2024 reflects this distribution, placing significant emphasis on the NET to filter candidates for various programs. This strict criteria ensures only top-tier candidates secure admission, with the merit cut-offs varying each year depending on the applicant pool. Students who excel in the NET stand a higher chance of appearing in the NUST first merit list, typically released in early August. Given the rigorous selection process, securing a spot requires intensive preparation and outstanding academic credentials.
SSC/Matric = 10%
HSSC/FSC = 15%
NET = 75%
To calculate your aggregate, you can use the following formula:
For Intermediate students:
([SSC Marks/1100] x 0.1) + ([FSC Marks/1100] x 0.15) + ([NET Score/200] x 0.75)
For O/A-Level students:
O-Level Equivalence = 0.25 + ([NET Score/200] x 0.75)
Aggregate Calculator
The NUST merit calculator plays a crucial role in helping students understand their chances of admission to the prestigious National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST). The merit calculation formula integrates three key components: your Matric/SSC marks (10% weightage), your FSC/HSSC marks (15% weightage), and your NUST Entry Test (NET) score, which holds the highest weight at 75%.
For students from O/A Levels, the formula slightly adjusts, giving a 25% weightage to O-Level equivalence and the same 75% weightage to the NET score.
The NUST merit lists, which are published after each round of the NET, can vary in merit positions depending on the program and campus. Therefore, having a high NET score significantly boosts your chances of securing a place in competitive fields like engineering, IT, and business studies.
By using the NUST aggregate calculator, applicants can get a clear picture of their merit score and evaluate if they need to retake the NET for better chances.
