What is ECAT?
ECAT (Engineering College Admission Test) is the Combined Entry Test conducted every year by the University of Engineering & Technology (UET), Lahore for admission to B.Sc. Engineering, B.Sc. Engineering Technology, B.Sc. Computer Science and BBA programs across UET Lahore (main campus plus Faisalabad, Narowal, RCET Gujranwala and Kala Shah Kaku), UET Taxila, BZU Multan (UCE&T), Islamia University Bahawalpur (UCE), NFC IE&FR Faisalabad, and a number of affiliated engineering colleges of Punjab.
The ECAT test is mandatory for every candidate seeking admission in engineering disciplines under the Punjab provincial quota and for reserved categories from other provinces. ECAT is now a computer-based test (CBT) held in two phases at 10 centres in Punjab.
ECAT is one of the most competitive engineering entry tests in Pakistan, alongside NUST NET, GIKI, FAST-NU, and NED Karachi.

Merit lists for each category (Punjab open merit, Sindh, KPK, Balochistan, AJK, FATA, Female, Self-Finance, Overseas) are then displayed on the UET admission notice board and the institutional website.
UET Merit Calculation, F.Sc. Part-I + ECAT
UET calculates merit from your F.Sc. Part-I (First Year) marks and your ECAT score. The exact weights are published on admission.uet.edu.pk each session.
Prep sites usually quote Matric 17% + F.Sc. Part-I 50% + ECAT 33%. UET has not confirmed this on its own pages, so use it as a guide and check the 2027 admission notice.
- Hafiz-e-Quran and sports marks are added as per the UET prospectus.
