🇵🇰 Pakistan University Merit Calculator
Calculate your admission merit for Pakistani universities
What is a university merit calculator in Pakistan?
A merit calculator is an online tool that helps students calculate their aggregate or merit score for admission into universities in Pakistan. It combines marks from matric, intermediate (FA/FSc/ICS/ICom), and entry tests (like MDCAT, ECAT, NUST, GIKI, etc.) according to the specific university’s formula.
Why do I need a merit calculator?
It saves time and gives you an accurate idea of your chances of admission to a university by showing how your academic and test scores add up.
Do all universities in Pakistan use the same merit formula?
No. Every university sets its own merit calculation policy. For example:
Medical universities (e.g., UHS, NUMS) give weightage to FSC Pre-Medical and MDCAT.
Engineering universities (e.g., NUST, UET, GIKI) give weightage to FSc Pre-Engineering/ICS and ECAT/NET/SAT.
General universities may give more weight to intermediate marks and sometimes no entry test.
What is the usual weightage of marks in merit calculation?
It depends on the institution, but a common breakdown is:
Matric (SSC): 10–20%
Intermediate (HSSC): 40–50%
Entry Test: 40–50%
Are entry tests compulsory for merit calculation?
Not always. Some universities only consider intermediate marks (e.g., many private universities). However, top public sector universities usually require an entry test.
