UET Lahore ECAT Merit Calculator Guide 2026
Securing admission in UET Lahore requires an exceptional combination of FSc marks and a high ECAT score. Here is the verified formula for 2026.
1. Merit Calculation Formula
UET Lahore aggregates merit based on a heavily weighted secondary education score and the ECAT exam:
- FSc/ICS Marks: 70% Weightage
- ECAT Score: 30% Weightage
(Note: For students awaiting 2nd-year results, merit is typically calculated on Matric + 1st Year marks scaled appropriately).
2. The ECAT Scoring System
The ECAT consists of 100 MCQs.

3. Example Calculation
Suppose you secured:
- FSc Marks: 1000/1100
- ECAT Marks: 200/400
Calculation:
- FSc Contribution: (1000 / 1100) × 70 = 63.63
- ECAT Contribution: (200 / 400) × 30 = 15.00
- Total Merit: 63.63 + 15.00 = 78.63%
To get into top fields like Software Engineering or Electrical Engineering at the main campus, you generally need an aggregate above 82%.
