NUST aggregate calculator 2026
Use this NUST aggregate calculator to estimate your NET-based merit aggregate. Enter your NET score and total marks, then enter your HSSC or A-Level equivalence percentage and SSC or O-Level equivalence percentage.
NUST aggregate formula
The published NET-basis formula is: NET percentage × 75%, HSSC/equivalent percentage × 15%, and SSC/equivalent percentage × 10%. The three weighted values are added to produce the estimated aggregate out of 100.
Does this predict admission?
No. The calculator only applies the published merit weightages. Final merit positions and closing aggregates can change by program, campus, seat category and admission cycle. Use the result as an estimate and check NUST's official admission portal for final decisions.
O-Level and A-Level students
Use the percentage shown on your relevant IBCC equivalence certificate. NUST also publishes special handling for some candidates whose A-Level result is not yet available, so confirm the rule that applies to your case.
NUST merit aggregate 2026: worked example
If you scored 150 out of 200 in NET, your test percentage is 75%. With 85% HSSC and 90% SSC, the estimated aggregate is 78.00%: NET (75 × 0.75 = 56.25), HSSC (85 × 0.15 = 12.75), and SSC (90 × 0.10 = 9.00). Total: 56.25 + 12.75 + 9.00.
How to enter O/A-Level equivalence
Use the percentage from your official IBCC equivalence certificate rather than an informal conversion of grades. The university may apply special rules to students awaiting A-Level results; follow the current requirements for your admission route. An ACT/SAT-based route can have different merit treatment and is not calculated by this NET tool.
Does a 78% aggregate guarantee a NUST seat?
No. Admission depends on your chosen program, campus, merit lists, seat category and the competition that year. This calculator applies the published NET-basis weighting only; it does not estimate a closing merit or selection probability. Verify the current NUST merit criteria and selection process.
For a different university, use the FAST-NUCES aggregate calculator. Its selection weights are different.
