Admission aggregate combines marks using a programme’s declared weights. It does not use one formula for every university, qualification route or degree programme.
The Admission Merit Aggregate lets you enter SSC marks, HSSC marks, entry test marks and all three weights. Treat the starting weights as a worked example until you have checked the current instructions for your own application.
Collect marks and maximums together
Use obtained and maximum marks from the same academic record. The maximum must describe the marks being entered, whether that is a complete qualification or a part result accepted by the institution.
For an equivalence qualification, use the official equivalence figures required on the application. Do not substitute a percentage calculated from a personal conversion table.
NUST’s selection instructions direct applicants to use original academic documents and official equivalence marks where applicable. Read the relevant institution’s own instructions before entering any result.
An 83% aggregate in an editable example
Enter SSC at 990 out of 1,100, HSSC at 935 out of 1,100, and a test at 160 out of 200. Those percentages are 90%, 85% and 80%.
With example weights of 10%, 40% and 50%, their aggregate contributions are nine, 34 and 40 points. The combined aggregate is 83%.
These example weights are not labelled as a particular university’s admission formula. The tool rejects weights that do not total 100%, so an incomplete formula cannot silently produce a normalised answer.
| Component | Marks percentage | Example weight | Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| SSC | 90% | 10% | 9 |
| HSSC | 85% | 40% | 34 |
| Test | 80% | 50% | 40 |
Aggregate and eligibility answer different questions
An aggregate does not establish required subjects, minimum qualification marks, test validity, seat category or document acceptance. Those conditions can decide whether an application is considered at all.
It also does not predict a closing merit position. A previous selection list can offer context, but this calculator has no applicant pool, seat allocation or current merit list data.
Keep the formula with the result
Save the institution, programme, qualification route and source of the weights beside your worksheet. Check them again if you switch programmes or admission routes.
The official NUST merit criteria page illustrates why the route matters. Use it only for the applicable route, rather than treating it as a Pakistan wide formula.
For a personal score target under known weights, Entry Test Target works backwards to the entry test marks required.
