NUST NET Aggregate Calculator 2026 (10/15/75 Formula, 60% Floor)

About the NUST NET Aggregate Calculator 2026 (10/15/75 Formula, 60% Floor)

Free NUST NET aggregate calculator for the Fall 2026 undergraduate admission cycle, using the weighting exactly as NUST states it on its Merit Generation Criteria page: NUST Entry Test 75 percent, SSC or O Level 10 percent, HSSC Part-1 or A Level or DAE 15 percent.

NET carries more weight than any other entry test in Pakistan, and that single fact should shape how you plan. NET is out of 200 marks, so each mark moves your aggregate by 0.375 percent and every 10 marks by 3.75 percent. UET's ECAT moves it 0.0825 per mark and MDCAT 0.278, which means one NET mark is worth about four and a half ECAT marks. A strong NET can carry an ordinary academic record into contention and a weak one can sink an excellent Matric and HSSC combination. NUST counts your best score if you sit more than one NET, so a poor first attempt is worth retaking.

Two requirements sit outside the aggregate and disqualify people who ignore them. First, NUST requires more than 60 percent in both SSC and HSSC as a hard eligibility floor, no matter how high your aggregate. Second, under PEC regulation, FSc Pre-Medical students who did not take additional Mathematics and are applying to Engineering must complete NUST's 8-week online Mathematics course and score at least 60 percent to enter the merit list at all.

Two special cases most calculators miss. O and A Level candidates in their A Level final year are assigned 25 percent weightage on their O Level equivalence marks per the IBCC certificate, rather than the usual 10 percent. And on the ACT or SAT route, National Seats use the same 75/10/15 split with the test score in place of NET, while International Seats are decided on ACT or SAT alone at 100 percent. NUST's institutional code is 2915 for ACT and 2790 for SAT, and those scores stay valid for two years.

Which NET paper you sit is determined by the programme you want, not by preference. Engineering and Computing merit is generated from NET-Engineering, Applied Sciences from NET-Applied Sciences, Architecture and Industrial Design from NET-Architecture, and Business Studies and Social Sciences from their own paper. Candidates with Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science are eligible for all Engineering programmes provided they clear Chemistry as a remedial course in the first semester, per PEC regulation.

This page deliberately shows no closing merit table. NUST does not publish closing merit publicly: selection status is issued per candidate behind a login at ugadmissions.nust.edu.pk. Any site presenting NUST closing merit figures for past cycles is estimating them. This calculator previously carried such a table, sourced from third party sites, and it was removed in August 2026 once it became clear the figures could not be traced to NUST.

The calculator returns your Matric, HSSC Part-1 and NET percentages, each component's weighted contribution and the final aggregate, flags you if either qualification falls below the 60 percent floor, and works backwards from any target aggregate to the minimum NET score required. NUST NET is separate from PMDC MDCAT, NUMS MDCAT and UET ECAT; each institution runs its own test and its own formula. All computation runs client-side and nothing is transmitted or stored.
