FAST's own computer-based MCQ test, with negative marking and no calculators.
| Component | Percent | Weight | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matric / SSC 1,000 / 1,100 | 90.91% | 10% | 9.0909 |
| HSSC 900 / 1,100 | 81.82% | 40% | 32.7273 |
| Admission test 60 / 100 | 60.00% | 50% | 30.0000 |
| Aggregate | 71.8182 | ||
- Eligibility for Computing: SSC 60% met · HSSC 50% met.
- The test gives 30.00 of your points. Each extra 1% in the test adds 0.50 aggregate points; each extra 1% in HSSC adds 0.40.
- FAST does not publish official closing merits; cut-off marks are set by the University each year and vary by campus and program. Treat your aggregate as a ranking score, not a guarantee.
You need at least 66.37% in the admission test to reach 75.00%.
Same marks, official 2026 weights. Engineering counts board marks more; Computing and Business count the test more.
| Group | Test/HSSC/SSC | Aggregate |
|---|---|---|
| Computing | 50/40/10 | 71.8182% |
| Business | 50/40/10 | 71.8182% |
| Engineering | 33/50/17 | 76.1636% |

- Using the Computing weights for Electrical, Computer or Civil Engineering. Engineering uses 33/50/17.
- Entering Part I marks with a 1100 total. Use the Part I total (e.g. 550) when only Part I is out.
- Choosing more than one test route. FAST asks you to select only one option: NU test, SAT or NAT.
- Guessing wildly in the NU test: there is negative marking.
Official pages: admission schedule · admission information (Prospectus 2026) · eligibility & weightage.
- →In Computing and Business the test is half your aggregate: every extra 1% in the test adds 0.50 points, versus 0.40 for 1% in HSSC.
- →Pre-medical students who passed (or await) additional Mathematics can apply to Computing programs.
- →NAT is only accepted if you took it in the previous six months; plan your NAT date around FAST's application window.
- →Applying to more than one campus costs Rs 500 per extra campus; it can widen your chances where cut-offs are lower.

What is the FAST Aggregate Calculator 2026 (FAST-NUCES)?
The FAST Aggregate Calculator works out the merit score that the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (FAST-NUCES) uses to rank applicants for its bachelor programs. It follows the official Eligibility Criteria page on nu.edu.pk (last updated 10 August 2026): Computing and Business programs weigh the admission test 50%, HSSC 40% and SSC 10%, while Engineering programs weigh the admission test 33%, HSSC 50% and SSC 17%.
FAST calculates the HSSC part from your Part I and Part II marks when both are available, from Part I alone if the Part II result is not out, or from the IBCC equivalence percentage for O-level and A-level students. Each component is converted to a percentage of its own total and multiplied by its weight, so enter the totals printed on your result cards.
Worked example (Computing): Matric 1000/1100, FSc 900/1100 and 60% in the NU admission test. Matric gives 1000 ÷ 1100 × 10 = 9.0909, FSc gives 900 ÷ 1100 × 40 = 32.7273 and the test gives 60 × 0.50 = 30.0000, for an aggregate of 71.8182%. The same marks under the Engineering weights (17/50/33) give 76.1636%, because Engineering puts more weight on board marks. To reach 75% in Computing, this student would need about 66.37% in the test.
You can sit FAST's own test or use an SAT or NTS NAT score instead; you must choose only one option. The prospectus accepts NAT taken in the previous six months, and the SAT route is only for students who reside abroad. FAST does not publish how NAT or SAT scores are converted, so this calculator uses your score as a percentage of the test total and lets you edit it.
Besides the aggregate and formula, the tool shows how much each test percent is worth, the test score you need for a target aggregate, your aggregate under every program group side by side, a what-if table, and a share link. FAST does not publish official closing merits on its website; it says merit cut-off marks are determined by the University, and they vary by campus, program and year.
How to Use This Calculator
- 1Choose the program group you are applying to: Computing, Business or Engineering (or set custom weights).
- 2Choose how your intermediate result is counted: Part I + II, Part I only, or O/A level IBCC equivalence.
- 3Enter your Matric (or O-level equivalence) marks and total.
- 4Enter your HSSC (or A-level equivalence) marks and total.
- 5Pick your test (NU test, NAT or SAT) and enter the score as a percentage or as marks out of the total.
- 6Read your aggregate, the breakdown and the formula; set a target to see the test score you need, then copy a share link.
