ITU Lahore Merit Calculator & Admission Guide (CS & SE)
The Information Technology University (ITU) in Arfa Software Technology Park has rapidly become one of Lahore's premier destinations for purely tech-focused degrees.
1. Admissions Criteria and Formula
ITU's aggregate relies on a mix of intermediate grades and test scores. The breakdown generally is:
- Entrance Test (ITU Test or NTS NAT): 50% Weightage
- Intermediate (FSc/ICS): 40% Weightage
- Matriculation: 10% Weightage
2. ITU Entrance Test vs NTS
ITU conducts its own proprietary admission test but also accepts the NTS NAT (IE/ICS). The ITU specific test tends to be slightly more aligned with computer science logic than the generalized NTS NAT.
3. Merit Cutoffs
Because ITU has smaller batch sizes compared to COMSATS or FAST, their merit for BS Computer Science and BS Software Engineering is extremely competitive. You should aim for an aggregate of 84% to 87% to be safe in the first or second merit lists.
4. Location Advantage
ITU is located inside the Arfa Karim Tower, which houses dozens of top-tier software companies (like Punjab IT Board and various private firms). Networking opportunities here are unmatched if you aggressively pursue internships.
