Work out your merit aggregate

The same marks produce very different aggregates depending on where you apply — NUST weights the entry test at 75%, UET at 33%. Each calculator shows the formula it uses, where that formula came from, and when it was last checked.

MDCAT aggregate calculator

Works out your MBBS and BDS merit aggregate from Matric, FSc, and MDCAT under the PMDC weighting. The formula is shown in full below — check it against this year’s policy before you rely on the number.

Matric / SSC 10%FSc / HSSC 40%MDCAT score 50%

ECAT aggregate calculator

Works out your UET engineering merit from Matric, FSc, and ECAT. UET Lahore moved to a 17/50/33 weighting, replacing the 25/45/30 formula many older calculators still use — so check which one your source is applying.

Matric / SSC 17%FSc / HSSC 50%ECAT score 33%

NUST NET merit calculator

NUST weights the entry test more heavily than any other major Pakistani university — NET alone is 75% of your aggregate. Because NET is usually sat before FSc finishes, the intermediate component is FSc Part 1.

LAT merit calculator

Works out your five-year LLB merit from HSSC Part-I, your LAT score, and Matric. Note that LAT is qualifying as well as weighted — below 50 out of 100 you are not considered at all, whatever this aggregate says.

FAST engineering merit calculator

FAST uses two different weightings, and most online calculators only implement one of them. Engineering is 17% Matric, 50% HSSC, 33% admission test — the test counts for far less here than it does for computing.

Matric / SSC 17%HSSC / Intermediate 50%NU Admission Test score 33%

FAST computing and BBA merit calculator

For BS Computing and BBA, FAST weights the admission test at 50% — half your aggregate. This is the formula most calculators show, but it does not apply to engineering, which weights the test at only 33%.
