How many test marks do I need?
Fill in the marks above (except the entry test), enter the aggregate you want, and Calvo tells you the test score you need.
The formula
NUST merit for NET-based admission: Aggregate = (Matric ÷ total × 10) + (FSc ÷ total × 15) + (NET ÷ 200 × 75). The NET carries three quarters of the merit, so it decides most of your aggregate.
| Part | Weightage | Marks used |
|---|---|---|
| Matric (SSC) | 10% | Total marks, e.g. 1100 |
| FSc (HSSC) | 15% | Part-I if Part-II is not out yet |
| NET | 75% | Score out of 200 |
Worked example
Matric 950 of 1100 at 10%: 950 ÷ 1100 × 10 = 8.64. FSc 480 of 550 at 15%: 480 ÷ 550 × 15 = 13.09. NET 140 of 200 at 75%: 140 ÷ 200 × 75 = 52.50. Aggregate = 8.64 + 13.09 + 52.50 = 74.23%.
Eligibility
Secondary sources for the 2026 cycle mention a minimum of 60% in both SSC and HSSC for eligibility. Confirm the exact criteria for your program on NUST's admissions page.
Important
NUST may adjust its merit criteria between admission cycles. This calculator gives an estimate. Weightages, and even which marks count, can change from one admission cycle to the next, so always confirm with the official prospectus or admission notice. The published merit list is final. You can edit the weightage and total marks in any row.
FAQ
What is the NUST merit formula?
Aggregate = 10% Matric + 15% FSc + 75% NET for NET-based undergraduate admission. Convert each result to a percentage, multiply by its weightage and add them.
How many marks is the NET out of?
The NET is out of 200. Enter 200 as the total in the NET row.
Which NET score counts if I gave it more than once?
NUST considers your best NET score across attempts for merit. Enter that best score.
Do business and social sciences programs use the same weights?
Some programs use a different split. This page uses the engineering and computing split (10 / 15 / 75). Edit the weights if your program differs.
How many NET marks do I need for my target merit?
Enter your Matric and FSc marks, type your target aggregate in the second box and press the button.
Is the result my official merit?
No. It is an estimate. NUST's published merit list is final.
