How to Calculate COMSATS Lahore Merit in 2026 (With Real Example)
Do you want to know if you'll secure a seat in COMSATS Lahore's highly competitive programs like Computer Science or Software Engineering? You need to understand the merit calculation formula.
The Standard Formula
CUI calculates merit out of 100%. The typical breakdown is:
- NTS NAT Score: 50% Weightage
- Intermediate (FSc/ICS) Marks: 40% Weightage
- Matriculation (SSC) Marks: 10% Weightage
(Note: For students awaiting 2nd-year results, merit is calculated on Matric (10%) and 1st Year (40%) marks).
Real Example Calculation
Suppose your profile is:
- NTS NAT: 78/100
- HSSC Part-1: 420/505
- Matric: 950/1100
Calculation:
- NTS: (78 / 100) × 50 = 39.00
- FSc: (420 / 505) × 40 = 33.26
- Matric: (950 / 1100) × 10 = 8.63
- Total Aggregate: 39.00 + 33.26 + 8.63 = 80.89%
Historically, CS at Lahore closes around 86-88%, so you would want to push your NTS score into the 80s to secure your spot.
