How to Calculate PU Admission Aggregate

The University of the Punjab (PU) merit calculator is designed to help prospective students compute their aggregate score for undergraduate admissions. Admissions at PU are based on a weighted combination of your past academic scores and entry test performance.

Matric / SSC Marks: Enter your obtained and total marks from Matriculation or O-Levels equivalent. The calculator applies the standard Matric weightage (25%).
Intermediate / HSSC Marks: Input your FSc / ICS / A-Level equivalent marks. The calculator applies the Intermediate weightage (50%).
Entry Test Marks: Enter your score in PU Admission Test / GAT. The calculator automatically applies the entry test weightage (25%).

Select your exact program to load the correct formula

Example Calculation:If a student has:

Matric: 950/1100 (86.36% × 25% = 21.59%)
Intermediate: 900/1100 (81.82% × 50% = 40.91%)
Entry Test: 140/200 (70.00% × 25% = 17.50%)

Total Aggregate: 80.00%

Admissions Eligibility & Guidelines

To apply for undergraduate admission at PU, students must meet the minimum percentage criteria in Intermediate exams (usually 50% to 60% depending on engineering, computer science, or business disciplines). Additionally, passing the required entrance tests (PU Admission Test, GAT) is mandatory.

⚠️ Disclaimer: Always verify final admission rules and aggregate formulas from the official PU admissions notice. Admissions weightages can be updated by the university academic council at any time. CampusAxis aggregate results are for guidance and academic planning purposes only.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Treating this result as PU's official aggregate — the formula status here is "program specific", meaning it's an estimate. Always cross-check against CampusAxis merit workbook audit (July 2026) — pending official re-verification before relying on it.
Using the default/general formula instead of selecting your exact program — at PU, 5 of 6 listed programs have their own weightage, so picking the wrong one can shift your aggregate by several percentage points.
Entering your PU Admission Test score as a percentage when the calculator expects raw marks (or vice-versa) — double-check whether your total is out of 100 before submitting.
Assuming any aggregate qualifies for any program — each program has its own minimum cutoff (e.g., General BS 4-Year Programs (with PU Admission Test) requires 50%), and falling short even by 0.1% disqualifies the application.
