Admission aggregate calculator

Admission merit is a weighted percentage, and every university weights the same three results differently. Pick your institution's formula or enter your own, put in your marks, and see the aggregate that will appear against your name on the merit list.

How to use the admission aggregate calculator

  1. Choose a university preset, or 'custom' to set your own weights.
  2. Enter marks obtained and total marks for each component.
  3. Check that the weights total 100%, then compare your aggregate against last year's closing merit.

How it works

Each component is converted to a percentage of its own total, multiplied by its weight, and the weighted parts are added. Under the Punjab MDCAT formula, for example, matric carries 10%, intermediate 40% and the MDCAT itself 50% — so a strong test result moves the aggregate roughly five times as much as the same improvement in matric marks.

Two details cost students places every year. First, some universities deduct marks for a repeated attempt or for improvement exams. Second, closing merit is not a fixed bar — it is set by the last admitted candidate, so it moves with the applicant pool each year. Use last year's figure as a guide and apply broadly around it.

Common questions

What is the MDCAT aggregate formula?

For Punjab public medical colleges it is 10% matric, 40% FSc and 50% MDCAT. Other provinces and private institutions publish their own weights, so confirm against the current prospectus.

What is the NUST NET aggregate formula?

NUST typically weights SSC at 10%, HSSC at 15% and the NET at 75%, which is why the entry test dominates the outcome.

My HSSC result is not out yet — what do I enter?

Use your part one marks doubled, or your expected total. Most universities calculate on a provisional basis and recalculate once the full result is issued.

Do the weights have to add up to 100?

Yes. If they do not, the aggregate is not a valid percentage and the calculator warns you.
