How is ECAT Aggregate Calculated? — All Universities
Each university uses a different weightage. Know the formula before you pick your target programme.
UET Lahore (FSc)
25 / 45 / 30Example: Matric 1000/1100 (90.9%), Intermediate 480/550 (87.3%), ECAT 280/400 (70%) → Aggregate = 22.73 + 39.27 + 21.00 = 83.00% — Electrical / Software Engineering competitive.
UET Lahore (DAE)
25 / 45 / 30DAE Diploma holders compete in a separate merit list with the same weightage as FSc, replacing Matric + Intermediate with DAE Year-1 + Year-2.
UET Lahore (Non-ECAT)
25 / 75For UET Lahore BS degrees, Architecture, City & Regional Planning, self-support programmes — no ECAT required. Intermediate carries 75% weight.
UET Taxila
15 / 50 / 35Heavier Intermediate weight (50%) and higher ECAT weight (35%) vs UET Lahore — marginally favours strong ECAT scorers.
UET Peshawar / ETEA
20 / 40 / 40Uses ETEA (Educational Testing & Evaluation Agency) at enggentrancetest.pk instead of ECAT. Also used by UET Mardan and AUST Abbottabad.
Punjab University (PU)
17 / 50 / 33PU Engineering Faculty. PU runs a separate entry test for non-engineering programmes with a different formula.
FAST-NU (ECAT / NU Test)
17 / 50 / 33FAST-NU accepts ECAT scores or its own NU Entry Test. Same weightage as PU. Register NU Test separately at nu.edu.pk.
GIKI (Ghulam Ishaq Khan Inst.)
10 / 15 / 75GIKI uses the same 75/15/10 structure as NUST. ECAT dominates at 75% weight. SAT accepted as alternative (SAT max = 1600).
ECAT carries only 30% weight — your Intermediate marks (45%) matter more than the ECAT score itself. A strong FSc result is your biggest lever for UET Lahore.
ECAT carries 75% weight — same as NUST’s NET. Every 40 extra ECAT marks = +7.5% aggregate. Focus massively on ECAT for GIKI.
ECAT Negative-Marking Calculator

UET Merit List — What to Expect
- How UET merit lists work: UET Lahore publishes 1st, 2nd and 3rd merit lists — each with decreasing cut-offs as higher-merit candidates complete admission elsewhere. A candidate who misses the 1st list may still close in the 2nd or 3rd.
- Open merit vs self-finance: Open merit seats are strictly merit-based (based on the 25/45/30 aggregate). Self-finance / self-support seats carry higher fees and close at a lower merit, giving another route in for students just below the open-merit cut-off.
- Province-wise quota: Apart from Punjab open merit, UET Lahore runs separate reserved seats for Sindh, KPK, Balochistan, AJK, Gilgit-Baltistan, FATA and overseas Pakistanis — each with its own cut-off.
- Hafiz-e-Quran bonus: Qualified Hafiz-e-Quran candidates receive +20 marks added directly to their ECAT score (post oral verification by the UET Hifz Committee).
- Sports quota: UET reserves a small number of sports-quota seats with a separate merit list. National / provincial-level athletes can apply with documented proof.
- How to check UET merit list 2026: visit admission.uet.edu.pk → “Check Merit Position”, log in with your ECAT roll number + CNIC. The merit list PDF is also downloadable.
- Expected timeline: Merit list is typically announced 4–6 weeks after the ECAT result. The 2nd & 3rd lists follow at 7–10 day intervals.
Frequently Asked Questions — ECAT Merit 2026
UET Lahore aggregate formula for FSc students: Aggregate = (Matric % × 0.25) + (Intermediate % × 0.45) + (ECAT % × 0.30). ECAT total = 400. Intermediate = 1100 (or 550 if only Part-I available).
ECAT merit is computed per university’s own weightage: UET Lahore 25/45/30, UET Taxila 15/50/35, PU 17/50/33, FAST 17/50/33, GIKI 10/15/75, UET Peshawar 20/40/40 (ETEA). Each component is converted to percentage, multiplied by weight, and summed.
UET Non-ECAT formula: Aggregate = (Matric % × 0.25) + (Intermediate % × 0.75). Applies to UET Lahore BS degrees, Architecture, City & Regional Planning and self-support programmes that do not require an ECAT score.
UET Taxila uses: Aggregate = (Matric % × 0.15) + (Intermediate % × 0.50) + (ECAT % × 0.35). Heavier Intermediate weight (50%) than UET Lahore (45%), and a higher ECAT weight (35%).
UET Peshawar uses ETEA (not ECAT): Aggregate = (Matric % × 0.20) + (Intermediate % × 0.40) + (ETEA % × 0.40). ETEA is conducted at enggentrancetest.pk. Also used by UET Mardan and AUST Abbottabad.
Punjab University Engineering Faculty: Aggregate = (Matric % × 0.17) + (Intermediate % × 0.50) + (ECAT % × 0.33). Non-engineering PU programmes have their own entry-test formula.
FAST-NU: Aggregate = (Matric % × 0.17) + (Intermediate % × 0.50) + (Entry Test % × 0.33). FAST accepts ECAT or its own NU Entry Test. Register at nu.edu.pk.
To hit UET Lahore Electrical Engineering closing merit (~84%), if your Matric is 90% and Intermediate is 87%, you’d need about 280/400 in ECAT. Use the reverse calculator above with your exact board marks.
UET Lahore requires a minimum 60% unweighted Intermediate marks to be eligible, regardless of ECAT score. Historical closing merits range from ~76% (Chemical Engg) to ~87% (Computer Engg) at main campus; sub-campuses close at 68–75%.
For UET Lahore: FSc (Intermediate) carries 45% vs ECAT’s 30% — FSc matters more. For GIKI: ECAT carries 75% — ECAT dominates. Always check the specific university’s formula before deciding where to focus.
ECAT has negative marking: +4 correct, −1 wrong, 0 blank. Raw score = (Correct × 4) − (Wrong × 1). Use the negative-marking calculator above for exact computation.
Yes. DAE Diploma holders can apply to UET Lahore under the DAE quota. Formula: (DAE Year-1 % × 0.25) + (DAE Year-2 % × 0.45) + (ECAT % × 0.30). DAE candidates compete in a separate merit list.
UET Lahore 1st merit list is typically announced 4–6 weeks after the ECAT result. 2nd and 3rd lists follow at 7–10 day intervals. Other universities (Taxila, PU, FAST, GIKI) publish their own schedules.
Visit admission.uet.edu.pk, log in with your ECAT roll number + CNIC, and click “Check Merit Position”. Merit list PDFs are downloadable per programme per campus per category.
UET Lahore BSc Electrical Engineering has historically closed at ~82–86% open-merit at main campus (Lahore). Sub-campus closing ~68–75%. Actual 2026 closing merit will be published after the merit list is finalised.
Yes — FAST-NU accepts ECAT for its engineering and CS programmes with the 17/50/33 formula. You can also sit for FAST’s own NU Entry Test at nu.edu.pk; both paths use the same aggregate formula.
ECAT is conducted by UET Lahore for Punjab universities. ETEA is conducted by KPK’s Educational Testing & Evaluation Agency for KPK universities (UET Peshawar, UET Mardan, AUST). Both are 400-mark CBT tests but use different syllabi and merit weightages.
