FAST merit

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%.

FAST does not publish closing merit. Its own criteria say only that merit cut-off marks are “to be determined by the University”, so there is no past figure to measure this against.

The formula

  • Matric / SSC marks10%
  • HSSC / Intermediate marks40%
  • NU Admission Test score50%

Each component is converted to a percentage of its own total, multiplied by its weight, then added together.

FAST does not publish closing merit

FAST-NUCES publishes its merit formula but not its cut-offs. Its own eligibility criteria state only that merit cut-off marks are "to be determined by the University", and no programme-wise closing merit is released. Figures circulating as "FAST closing merit" are compiled by private sites from student reports, not published by FAST.

FAST official eligibility criteria

Check this before you rely on it

  • •FAST requires at least 60% in SSC and 50% in HSSC for computing and business programmes.
  • •Mathematics at intermediate level is required for computing programmes.
  • •This is the computing and BBA weighting. BS Engineering uses 17/50/33 instead.

Weighting checked on against FAST-NUCES official eligibility criteria. That is the institution’s own published criteria. Policy still changes between cycles, so re-check it before you rely on the result.

Other merit calculators

Each university weights the entry test differently — the same marks give very different aggregates.

MDCAT Aggregate CalculatorWorks 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.ECAT Aggregate CalculatorWorks 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.NUST NET Merit CalculatorNUST 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 CalculatorWorks 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 NUCES Engineering Merit CalculatorFAST 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.
