NUST Aggregate Calculator 2026
Calculate your NUST merit instantly using the official 75% NET · 15% Intermediate · 10% Matric formula. Forward & reverse calc, FSc / A-Level / SAT support, multi-NET best-score tracker & campus-wise merit comparison — all in one tool.
Multi-NET Best Score Tracker
Best: — / 200Tip: NUST automatically uses your best NET score across all attempts. Fill only the sessions you’ve attempted.
A-Level / O-Level formula: the single IBCC-equivalence percentage replaces both the Matric and Intermediate components. Weightage: 25% equivalence + 75% NET.
SAT / ACT route: NUST accepts SAT-I / ACT scores in lieu of NET for Business, Social Sciences and select programs. Formula same as FSc, with SAT replacing NET.

How is NUST Aggregate Calculated? — The 75/15/10 Formula
The NUST merit calculation formula is transparent. Understand every step so you can plan your strategy.
NUST NET Merit Formula (FSc / Inter)
Aggregate = (Matric% × 0.10) + (Intermediate% × 0.15) + (NET% × 0.75)
- Convert each component to a percentage. Divide obtained marks by total marks and multiply by 100. Matric and Intermediate are both divided by 1100 per NUST policy; NET is out of 200; SAT is out of 1600; ACT is out of 36.
- Apply the official NUST weightage. NET × 75% + Intermediate × 15% + Matric × 10%. For A-Level students the Matric+Intermediate block becomes a single IBCC equivalence × 25%. For SAT/ACT applicants, SAT/ACT replaces NET at the same 75% weight.
- Add all three weighted components. The sum (out of 100) is your final NUST aggregate percentage used for merit ranking across all NUST campuses.
Worked Example
Candidate: Matric = 1000/1100 · Intermediate = 950/1100 · NET = 160/200
→ Matric % = 90.91 × 0.10 = 9.09
→ Intermediate % = 86.36 × 0.15 = 12.95
→ NET % = 80.00 × 0.75 = 60.00
→ Aggregate = 9.09 + 12.95 + 60.00 = 82.04% (strong chances for H-12 top programs)

Frequently Asked Questions — NUST Merit 2026
The official NUST aggregate formula 2026 is the 75/15/10 formula: Aggregate % = (Matric % × 0.10) + (Intermediate % × 0.15) + (NET % × 0.75). Matric and Intermediate are divided by 1100 (fixed denominator) and converted to percentages; NET is out of 200.
NUST merit calculation converts each component to a percentage, multiplies by its official weightage (Matric × 10%, Intermediate × 15%, NET × 75%) and sums the three. The best NET score across NET-1, NET-2, NET-3 or NET-4 is used. A-Level students use IBCC equivalence × 25% + NET × 75%.
The NUST 75 15 10 formula is the merit weightage: 75% NET + 15% Intermediate + 10% Matric. Because NET carries 75% weight, even a 10-mark NET gain raises your aggregate by 3.75% — often the difference between closing and not closing for top programs.
Above 80% is excellent (strong chances at H-12 top programs). 70–79% is competitive for most NUST programs. 65–69% is average — consider CEME, MCS or Risalpur. 60–64% is below average — NUST Balochistan Campus Quetta possible. Below 60% is low — focus on improving NET.
SEECS BS Computer Science historically closes around 82–85% aggregate. If your Matric = 90% and Intermediate Part-I = 85% (giving 9 + 12.75 = 21.75% from academics), you’d need about 161/200 in NET to hit 82%. Use the reverse calculator above to run your own numbers.
Yes — use the A-Level tab above. The NUST aggregate calculator for A level students uses: Aggregate = (IBCC equivalence % × 0.25) + (NET % × 0.75). The single 25% equivalence replaces both Matric and Intermediate from the FSc formula.
Yes. NUST accepts SAT-I scores for Business, Social Sciences and some specific programs. Formula: Aggregate = (Matric % × 0.10) + (Intermediate % × 0.15) + (SAT/1600 × 100 × 0.75). ACT is also accepted using ACT/36 × 100 × 0.75.
Use your Intermediate Part-I marks only with a total of 550 (toggle the checkbox above). NUST accepts Part-I for initial merit and recomputes once Part-II results are submitted officially.
NUST automatically considers your best NET score across NET-1, NET-2, NET-3 and NET-4. Use the “I have multiple NET scores” button in the FSc tab to enter all attempts and auto-select the highest.
There is no fixed pass percentage — admissions are merit-based. Historically the minimum aggregate that has closed any NUST BS program is around 52–55% (at NUST Balochistan Campus Quetta). H-12 flagship programs close at 70%+.
The NUST merit list 2026 is published on ugadmissions.nust.edu.pk. Log in with CNIC + application number → “My Dashboard → Results & Merit”. Separate lists are published for each program per campus per category (open, AJK, reserved, self-finance, overseas).
Approximate 2023–2024 NUST closing merit for engineering: SEECS BE Electrical 75–80%, SMME Mechanical 72–76%, SMME Mechatronics 73–77%, SCEE Civil 70–74%, SEAS Aerospace (Risalpur) 68–72%. Always cross-check current-year merit on NUST’s portal.
