Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Treating this result as PAF-IAST's official aggregate — the formula status here is "program specific", meaning it's an estimate. Always cross-check against OFFICIAL SOURCES: https://paf-iast.edu.pk/admissionsmeritscheme/ ; https://paf-iast.edu.pk/eligibilitycriteria/ ; https://paf-iast.edu.pk/bachelor-admission-entry-test/ — The current official merit scheme applies 10% SSC + 30% HSSC + 60% test/SAT to all bachelor programs except Arts & Design. The official eligibility and test pages list the current program categories and test routes. The former computing/science and engineering duplicate rows were merged. | OFFICIAL SOURCES: https://paf-iast.edu.pk/admissionsmeritscheme/ ; https://paf-iast.edu.pk/eligibilitycriteria/ ; https://paf-iast.edu.pk/bachelor-admission-entry-test/ — The current official Arts & Design merit scheme is 50% entry test + 50% interview, and the eligibility/test pages confirm the currently named design programs. before relying on it.
• Using the default/general formula instead of selecting your exact program — at PAF-IAST, 1 of 2 listed programs have their own weightage, so picking the wrong one can shift your aggregate by several percentage points.
• Entering your PAF-IAST Entry Test / SAT accepted under the current merit scheme score as a percentage when the calculator expects raw marks (or vice-versa) — double-check whether your total is out of 100 before submitting.
