NUST Merit Calculator 2027

Calculate your NET aggregate with Matric, FSc, O Level or A Level results.

NUST merit information

How NUST calculates aggregate

  • Completed Inter or A Levels: 10% Matric or O Levels, 15% Inter or A Levels, and 75% NET.
  • A Level result pending: 25% Matric or O Level equivalence and 75% NET.
  • IBCC A* conversion marks depend on the subject and exam year.

Example: 80% Matric, 90% Inter and 150/200 NET give an aggregate of 77.75%.

NUST merit criteria

Should I enter grades or IBCC equivalence?

If you have an IBCC equivalence certificate, select “IBCC equivalence” and enter its percentage. Use the SSC certificate for O Levels and the HSSC certificate for A Levels.

Without a certificate, select “Enter subjects and grades” for a planning estimate. O Level equivalence averages 8 grades. A Level equivalence averages 5 compulsory O Level grades and 3 A Level grades. Choose your exam year because A* conversion marks can vary by subject and year.

For O Level certificate with A Level grades, add the five compulsory O Level grades and the O Level exam year. For Matric with completed A Levels, enter Matric marks and IBCC HSSC equivalence. While A Level results are pending, A Level fields stay hidden.

How the grade estimate works

O Level equivalence averages 8 grades. A Level equivalence averages English, Mathematics, Urdu, Islamiyat and Pakistan Studies plus 3 A Level subjects.

Grade estimates use the five-compulsory-O-Level plus three-A-Level formula. Earlier cohorts or exemptions may follow different IBCC rules; use your certificate for an official result.

IBCC’s February 2026 notice describes this approach for students completing O Levels in 2026 and A Levels afterward.

Matric with A Level results pending

Select Matric, A Levels and “Not yet”. Your aggregate uses 25% Matric and 75% NET.

Eligibility

NUST requires at least 60% in SSC and HSSC, or their equivalent qualifications. Program subject requirements also apply.

How to read the merit estimate

Merit positions differ by test series. The result uses cleaned 2026 records, and the list view compares your estimate with each program’s 2026 closing position for lists 1 to 14. Treat both as guidance, not an official position or an admission promise.
