Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Treating this result as SHU's official aggregate — the formula status here is "program specific", meaning it's an estimate. Always cross-check against OFFICIAL SOURCE: https://shu.edu.pk/admission/admission-process/ — BE Biomedical Engineering: previous academics 60% (SSC 10 + HSSC/DAE 50), entry test 33%, interview 7%. | OFFICIAL SOURCE: https://shu.edu.pk/admission/admission-process/ — For announced results: test 50%, interview 10%, essay 10%, SSC 10%, HSSC 20%. The 20% other block equals essay 10% + interview 10%. | OFFICIAL SOURCE: https://shu.edu.pk/admission/admission-process/ — For result-awaiting applicants: test 50%, interview 20%, essay 10%, SSC 20%; no HSSC weight. The 30% other block equals essay 10% + interview 20%. | OFFICIAL FORMULA: https://shu.edu.pk/admission/admission-process/ ; OFFICIAL OFFERING/ELIGIBILITY: https://shu.edu.pk/FoPharm/doctor-of-pharmacy-pharm-d-program/ — Pharm-D follows SHU's published non-BME announced-result formula and requires 60% Pre-Medical/equivalent. | OFFICIAL FORMULA: https://shu.edu.pk/admission/admission-process/ ; OFFICIAL OFFERING/ELIGIBILITY: https://shu.edu.pk/FoPharm/doctor-of-pharmacy-pharm-d-program/ — The result-awaiting formula contains no HSSC weight and totals 100% through SSC 20%, test 50%, essay 10% and interview 20%. | OFFICIAL CURRENT TEST/PROCESS: https://habib.edu.pk/admissions/international-examination-board/entrance-examination/ ; OFFICIAL PROGRAMS: https://habib.edu.pk/ — Habib publishes test and exemption routes but no exact weighted aggregate. before relying on it.
• Using the default/general formula instead of selecting your exact program — at SHU, 5 of 6 listed programs have their own weightage, so picking the wrong one can shift your aggregate by several percentage points.
• Entering your SHU Entry Test / approved exemption where applicable score as a percentage when the calculator expects raw marks (or vice-versa) — double-check whether your total is out of 100 before submitting.
