UET ECAT Aggregate Calculator 2026 (Merit List 3 Out, 17/50/33)

About the UET ECAT Aggregate Calculator 2026 (Merit List 3 Out, 17/50/33)

Free UET Lahore ECAT aggregate calculator for the Fall 2026 engineering admission cycle. It applies the weighting exactly as UET publishes it in the Undergraduate Prospectus Fall 2026 under Determination of Merit: Entrance Test 33 percent, First Year 50 percent, Matric 17 percent.

That 17/50/33 split covers the Intermediate stream. UET uses different weightings for everyone else, and most calculators leave this out. O and A Level candidates use 33 percent ECAT plus 67 percent Class 11 marks. DAE diploma holders use 33 percent ECAT plus 67 percent from first and second year combined. B.Sc. Engineering Technology holders use 33 percent ECAT plus 67 percent from a seven semester CGPA, where a CGPA of 2.5 out of 4.0 counts as 60 percent and 4.0 counts as 90 percent. Non-ECAT programmes ignore the test entirely and run on Matric 25 percent plus First Year 75 percent. In every case UET requires a minimum 50 percent aggregate before you are eligible at all.

One detail that costs students marks: UET uses your FSc Part-1 result even if you have already finished Part-2. Part-1 is out of 520 or 505 depending on your board, and a strong Part-2 does not lift your merit.

ECAT itself is 100 questions in 100 minutes, 10 on English and 90 split equally across your other subjects, each worth 4 marks for a 400 total. There is no negative marking and no passing threshold. Candidates may sit more than one attempt and the best score is the one that counts, per Pakistan Engineering Council instructions. For context on where a score sits, UET's own ECAT Fall 2026 statistics put the Pre-Engineering average at 203 out of 400 and the Pre-Medical average at 222, with a top score of 396.

The Fall 2026 test cycle has closed. ECAT Phase 1 ran 30 March to 3 April with results on 17 April, and Phase 2 ran 16 to 21 June with results on 30 June. Admission has moved to merit lists, and all three are now published, the third on 14 August 2026.

The closing merit table on this page carries all three published lists, transcribed from UET's own reports: the Minimum Aggregate Report for List 1 and the Closing Merit Reports for Lists 2 and 3, covering 33 open merit programmes across Main Campus and Kala Shah Kaku. Merit List 3 published on 14 August 2026.

What the three lists together show is more useful than any single cut-off. Every programme fell, by 0.78 to 2.99 points overall, averaging 1.73. But the fall decelerates sharply: List 1 to List 2 averaged 1.36 points while List 2 to List 3 averaged only 0.37, and four programmes did not move at all on List 3. Computer Science at main campus went 87.47 to 85.44 and then stayed exactly there. The practical reading is that sitting two or three points below List 1 is worth waiting on, because most of the drop is still ahead of you, while sitting the same distance below List 3 is not, because the movement has largely stopped. Merit falls when selected candidates decline seats or miss the fee deadline, and by the third round most of those who were going to leave have gone. On List 3 the main campus ran from 70.58 for Geological Engineering to 85.75 for Cybersecurity. Software Engineering is offered at Kala Shah Kaku rather than main campus and closed at 80.26.

Two credits that can move merit and are missing from most calculators: a Hafiz-e-Quran can be awarded between zero and twenty additional marks by UET's verification committee after an oral test, and a sportsman can have up to ten marks added to intermediate marks. Both require ticking the relevant box on the online application form. For Pre-Medical candidates who took Mathematics as an additional subject, UET uses the first year Biology marks provided Mathematics is passed.

The calculator returns your Matric, FSc Part-1 and ECAT percentages, each component's weighted contribution and the final aggregate, plus a target estimator that works backwards to the minimum ECAT score needed for any aggregate you name. Figures shown are open merit, category A1, morning session. Reserved categories including Non-Muslim, overseas Pakistani, Balochistan, Azad Kashmir and disabled are published separately by UET and generally close lower. NUST, GIKI, NED Karachi and FAST NU use their own formulas and their own entry tests, covered on their own pages. Always confirm against the current cycle prospectus on admission.uet.edu.pk. All computation runs client-side and no marks or personal academic data is transmitted or stored.
