How the NUST Aggregate is Calculated (2026)
The NUST merit criteria is structured very differently from MDCAT or ECAT: your NUST Entry Test (NET) carries 75% weight — by far the most decisive factor — with FSc Part 1 at 15% and Matric at 10%. This NUST aggregate formula has remained consistent across recent admission cycles.
The Formula
Aggregate = (Matric % × 0.10) + (FSc Part 1 % × 0.15) + (NET % × 0.75)
FSc Part 1 or Combined?
If your FSc Part 2 result hasn't been declared yet, NUST uses your Part 1 marks for the merit calculation. Once you have your final intermediate result, enter your combined Part 1 + Part 2 marks instead — use whichever total you've officially declared at the time of applying.
NET Total Marks
The NET is out of 200 marks, with subject weightings that vary by your chosen program (e.g., Engineering programs weight Mathematics 40%, Physics 30%, Chemistry 15%, English 10%, Intelligence 5%).
A-Level Students
A-level students (in their final year) use a different sub-formula: 25% O-level equivalence + 75% NET, replacing the separate Matric/FSc components.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the NUST aggregate calculated for 2026?
By combining Matric (10%), FSc Part 1 (15%), and your NET score (75%) into one weighted percentage. NET dominates the formula.
What is the NUST merit criteria?
NUST's merit criteria weights the NUST Entry Test (NET) at 75%, FSc Part 1 at 15%, and Matric at 10%. This weighting has stayed consistent across recent admission cycles.
How much aggregate is required to get into NUST?
There's no single fixed number — required aggregate varies by campus, program, and year, since NUST releases separate closing merit figures for each. Check NUST's official merit lists for your specific program to see recent closing aggregates.
Does NUST use full FSc marks or only Part 1?
It depends on your situation. If your Part 2 result isn't declared yet, NUST uses your Part 1 marks. If you already have your final intermediate result, you enter your combined Part 1 + Part 2 marks instead. You can use this calculator either way.
What is the NUST Entry Test (NET) out of?
200 marks. Subject-wise weightings within the NET vary depending on your chosen program (e.g., Engineering programs weight Mathematics highest).
How does the formula work for A-level students?
A-level students (in their final year) use 25% O-level equivalence plus 75% NET, replacing the separate Matric and FSc components used by Intermediate students.
What's the difference between my aggregate percentage and my NUST merit position?
Your aggregate is the weighted percentage this calculator gives you. Your merit position is your actual rank number on NUST's published merit list, based on how your aggregate compares to every other applicant for that program. A higher aggregate generally means a better (lower) merit position number.
