NUST Aggregate Calculator: NET 75% + FSc 15% + Matric 10%

NUST Aggregate Calculator

NUST decides undergraduate admission on a single aggregate: 75% from the NUST Entry Test (NET), 15% from FSc/HSSC and 10% from Matric/SSC. Enter your NET score with its total (the calculator starts at 200) and your board percentages and the calculator returns the aggregate NUST will use on its merit list. Because the test carries three-quarters of the weight, small NET gains move the aggregate far more than board marks do.

How NUST builds its merit list

The National University of Sciences and Technology admits most undergraduate students on the NUST Entry Test. Rather than rank candidates on the test alone, it combines three results into one percentage using fixed weights: NET 75%, HSSC (FSc Part-1, full HSSC, A Level or equivalent, or DAE) 15% and SSC (Matric, O Level or equivalent) 10%. These weights are from NUST’s own “Merit Generation Criteria” page, re-checked against the live page on 19 September 2026 (the page carries no year); the same page lists the programme groups and which NET paper each one accepts. Every applicant to a given program is ranked on that aggregate, and seats are filled from the top until the program is full. The last admitted aggregate becomes that year’s closing merit.

Aggregate = (Matric % × 0.10) + (FSc % × 0.15) + (NET % × 0.75)

Worked example: calculating NUST aggregate

Component	Score	Weight	Contribution
Matric (SSC)	1010 / 1100 = 91.8%	10%	9.18
FSc (HSSC)	950 / 1100 = 86.4%	15%	12.95
NET	152 / 200 = 76.0%	75%	57.00
Aggregate			79.13%

Raising the NET by 10 marks (to 162, or 81%) adds 3.75 points to the aggregate. Raising FSc by the same 10 marks out of 1100 adds only 0.14. That asymmetry is why NUST preparation is almost entirely test preparation once you are past the 60% eligibility bar in both board exams.

Eligibility before the aggregate matters

At least 60% marks in SSC/Matric or O-level equivalence.
At least 60% marks in HSSC/FSc or A-level equivalence.
The right subject group: Pre-Engineering for engineering, Pre-Medical (with additional mathematics for some programs) for biosciences, and so on as listed in the prospectus.
A valid NET score in the series for that admission cycle.

Applicants who miss any of these are not ranked regardless of how strong the aggregate would have been.

How to calculate NUST aggregate with this calculator

The NUST preset is selected; leave the weights as they are.
Enter your Matric and FSc percentages (or equivalence marks).
Enter your best NET score and the total printed on your NET result.
Read the aggregate and compare it with the program’s closing merit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the NUST aggregate formula?

Aggregate = (Matric % × 0.10) + (FSc % × 0.15) + (NET % × 0.75). Convert NET to a percentage using the total printed on your NET result; for example, if the paper is marked out of 200, a 150 is 75%. A student with 90% Matric, 85% FSc and a 75% NET has 9 + 12.75 + 56.25 = 78% aggregate.

What aggregate is needed for NUST?

It depends on the programme, the campus and the year. NUST publishes merit lists for each admission cycle; compare your aggregate with the latest list for your programme rather than with figures quoted elsewhere.

Which NET attempt counts?

NUST takes your best NET score across the attempts in that admission cycle (usually up to three or four series). Enter the highest score you achieved; the aggregate is computed once with that figure.

How do A-level or O-level students calculate the aggregate?

Use the IBCC equivalence percentages in place of FSc and Matric. If you already have an A Level (or HSSC-equivalent) result, the weightage is the same: 75% NET, 15% HSSC equivalence, 10% SSC equivalence. If you are still in your final A Level year, NUST’s merit criteria give 25% weightage to your O Level equivalence marks instead, so enter your O Level equivalence with a 25% weight in the Custom option. NUST requires more than 60% in SSC and HSSC or equivalent to be eligible.

Is the weightage the same for SAT-based admission?

For national seats on ACT or SAT basis, NUST’s merit criteria use the same split with the ACT/SAT score in place of NET: 75% ACT/SAT, 10% SSC, 15% HSSC. For international seats the ACT or SAT score counts 100%. Check the current NUST criteria, as they can change between admission cycles.
