Admissions at National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) are determined using a weighted composite aggregate of your academic qualifications and entry test performance.
To apply for undergraduate admission at NUST, applicants must satisfy minimum intermediate mark criteria (typically 50% to 60% depending on degree discipline) and appear in the designated entrance test.
For NUST Engineering and Computing programs (SEECS, SMME, SCME, NICE), the official aggregate formula is: (NET Score ÷ 200 × 75) + (HSSC/FSc % × 0.15) + (SSC/Matric % × 0.10). For example: 155/200 in NET (58.125%), 88% in FSc (13.2%), and 92% in Matric (9.2%) yields an aggregate of 80.525%.
For NBS (BBA, BS Accounting & Finance) and S3H (BS Economics, Psychology, Mass Comm), the weightage is: 50% NET + 25% HSSC/FSc + 25% SSC/Matric: (NET Score ÷ 200 × 50) + (HSSC % × 0.25) + (SSC % × 0.25).
For BS Computer Science, BS Software Engineering, and BS Artificial Intelligence at SEECS Islamabad, the closing aggregate generally ranges between 80.5% and 82.0%. A safe target is a NET score of 152+ out of 200 with 85%+ in FSc (or equivalent A-Levels IBCC equivalence).
Approximate closing aggregates for recent admission cycles: BS Computer Science (SEECS): ~81.5%, BS Software Engineering (SEECS): ~80.2%, BS Data Science / AI (SEECS): ~79.8%, BS Electrical Engineering (SEECS): ~73.5%, BS Mechanical Engineering (SMME): ~74.2%, BS Chemical Engineering (SCME): ~68.0%, BS Civil Engineering (NICE): ~69.5%, BBA (NBS): ~74.0%, BS Accounting & Finance (NBS): ~71.8%.
If you apply while your 2nd-year FSc/HSSC exams are ongoing, NUST computes your academic percentage using your 1st-year FSc marks (weighted proportionally). Once 2nd-year results are announced, candidates must fulfill the minimum eligibility requirement (minimum 60% in FSc).
Yes. NUST conducts four computerized NET series in Islamabad each year (NET-1 in Dec/Jan, NET-2 in Feb/Mar, NET-3 in Apr/May, and NET-4 in Jun/Jul). You can appear in all four series; NUST automatically considers your highest NET score when generating the final merit list.
No. There is no negative marking in the NUST Entry Test. Each correct answer carries 1 mark out of a total 200 marks, so students are advised to attempt all questions.
O-Levels and A-Levels students must obtain equivalence certificates from the Inter Board Coordination Commission (IBCC). NUST uses the Equivalence Percentage for O-Levels (in place of Matric) and A-Levels (in place of FSc) in the standard formula.
