Quick Answer
Your NUST aggregate for undergraduate (BS) admission in 2026 is: (NET ÷ 200 × 75) + (FSc% × 15) + (Matric% × 10). For MS/MPhil, merit is (CGPA ÷ 4.0 × 60) + (Test ÷ 100 × 40). Enter your marks in the calculator below for an instant result.

NUST Aggregate Calculator
Use this NUST aggregate calculator to estimate your merit for the 2026 intake. Choose your program level, enter your marks, and click Calculate. It supports FSc, A-Level and O-Level students (via equivalence marks) for BS, and CGPA-based merit for MS/MPhil.
This is an estimate for guidance only. Final merit is determined by NUST as per the official policy for the relevant admission cycle.
How to Calculate Your NUST Aggregate
For undergraduate (BS) admission through the NUST Entry Test (NET), follow these steps:
- Enter your Matric / SSC marks (obtained and total). O-Level students enter IBCC equivalence marks.
- Enter your FSc Part-I / HSSC-I marks. NUST uses first-year (Part-I) marks when full intermediate results are not yet available. A-Level students enter equivalence marks.
- Enter your NET score out of 200.
- Click Calculate to see your aggregate and a breakdown of each component’s contribution.
For MS / MPhil admission, switch the Program Level dropdown to Graduate, then enter your Bachelor’s CGPA (out of 4.0) and your GAT / G-NET test score (out of 100).
NUST Aggregate Formula 2026 (BS & MS)
The NUST merit formula has stayed the same for recent cycles, so this calculator applies to 2026, 2025 and 2024 admissions alike.
Undergraduate (BS) Aggregate Formula
| Component | Weightage |
|---|---|
| NUST Entry Test (NET), out of 200 | 75% |
| FSc Part-I / HSSC-I (or A-Level equivalence) | 15% |
| Matric / SSC (or O-Level equivalence) | 10% |
The NET carries the highest weightage at 75%, so your entry-test performance has by far the biggest impact on your merit.
Graduate (MS / MPhil) Merit Formula
| Component | Weightage |
|---|---|
| Bachelor’s degree CGPA (out of 4.0) | 60% |
| Entry test (GAT-General / G-NET / GRE), out of 100 | 40% |
Unlike undergraduate admission, MS merit does not use your FSc or Matric marks — it is based on your Bachelor’s CGPA plus a graduate test. Minimum eligibility is usually a 2.0/4.0 CGPA (or 55%) in the terminal degree.
Worked Example
Suppose a BS applicant has:
- Matric: 950 / 1100 = 86.36%
- FSc Part-I: 480 / 550 = 87.27%
- NET: 150 / 200 = 75%
Aggregate = (75 × 0.75) + (87.27 × 0.15) + (86.36 × 0.10) = 56.25 + 13.09 + 8.64 = 77.98%.
How Much Aggregate Do You Need?
Closing merit varies every year by program and campus. As a rough guide, high-demand engineering and computer science programs at the Islamabad campus have historically closed around 80%+ aggregate, while many other programs and campuses close lower. Treat closing merits from previous years as a benchmark, not a guarantee — check the official NUST admissions portal for the latest figures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NUST aggregate formula for 2026?
For BS admission, NUST aggregate = (NET ÷ 200 × 75) + (FSc% × 15) + (Matric% × 10). The NET carries 75%, FSc 15% and Matric 10%. The formula is unchanged from 2024 and 2025.
How is the NUST aggregate calculated for MS?
For MS/MPhil, merit = (CGPA ÷ 4.0 × 60) + (Test ÷ 100 × 40). Your Bachelor’s CGPA counts for 60% and your GAT-General or G-NET score for 40%. FSc, Matric and NET are not used for MS admission.
Does NUST use FSc Part-I or full FSc marks?
NUST uses HSSC Part-I (first-year) marks when full intermediate results are not yet available at the time of admission. If your complete FSc result is available, enter those marks and the matching total instead.
How do O-Level and A-Level students calculate NUST aggregate?
Use your IBCC equivalence marks. O-Level equivalence is used in place of Matric (10%) and A-Level (or AS/Part-I) equivalence in place of FSc Part-I (15%). Enter the equivalence obtained and total marks in the calculator.
What NET score do I need for NUST?
There is no fixed passing NET score; admission is on merit. Because NET is weighted 75%, a higher NET dramatically improves your aggregate. Competitive programs often require a NET well above 150/200 combined with strong academics.
Is this NUST aggregate calculator accurate?
It applies the official NUST weightages, so it gives an accurate estimate of your aggregate. Final merit is confirmed by NUST during the admission process, so always verify against the official policy for your cycle.
