NET 75% + HSSC (Part-1) / HSSC / A level / equivalent / DAE 15% + SSC / O level 10%.

| Component | Marks | Percent | Weight | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SSC / O level | 1,000 / 1,100 | 90.91% | 10% | 9.0909 |
| HSSC / equivalent | 480 / 550 | 87.27% | 15% | 13.0909 |
| NET | 150 / 200 | 75.00% | 75% | 56.2500 |
| Aggregate | 78.4318 | |||
- NET gives 56.25 of your 78.43 points. Each NET mark adds 0.375 aggregate points, so about 2.7 more NET marks lift your aggregate by 1%.
- Eligibility (60% each in SSC and HSSC): SSC met (90.9%), HSSC met (87.3%). Your final HSSC result must also be 60%+.
- Academic marks are now mostly fixed; the NET is where your aggregate can still move. Use the table below to see what each extra 10 NET marks is worth.
You need at least 155 / 200 in NET (77.5%) to reach 80.00%.
| NET | NET % | Aggregate |
|---|---|---|
| 200 / 200 | 100.0% | 97.1818% |
| 180 / 200 | 90.0% | 89.6818% |
| 160 / 200 | 80.0% | 82.1818% |
| 150 / 200 (you) | 75.0% | 78.4318% |
| 140 / 200 | 70.0% | 74.6818% |
| 130 / 200 | 65.0% | 70.9318% |

From NUST's program-wise merit criteria. Your best NET score is picked for merit.
- A-level students using the 10% + 15% split. In A-level final year NUST uses O-level equivalence at 25%.
- Entering Part-I marks with the full HSSC total (1100). Pair Part-I marks with the Part-I total.
- Leaving the IBCC equivalence certificate too late. Without it before classes start, admission is cancelled.
- Preparing for the wrong NET paper. Check the table above for your program family.
- →Sit more than one NET series if you can; NUST picks your best NET score for merit.
- →Pre-Medical students can take NET-Engineering for engineering programs but must clear NUST's 8-week condensed Mathematics course before admission.
- →Keep your SSC and HSSC at 60%+; a strong NET can't override the eligibility floor.
- →Compare your aggregate with NUST's merit lists on the UG admissions portal when they are published.

What is the NUST Aggregate Calculator 2026?
The NUST Aggregate Calculator gives you the merit score the National University of Sciences and Technology uses to rank undergraduate applicants who apply through the NUST Entry Test (NET). NUST's official Merit Generation Criteria give the NET 75% weight, HSSC (Part-1) / HSSC / A level / equivalent / DAE 15%, and SSC / O level / equivalent 10%. The same split applies to national seats taken on an ACT or SAT score instead of NET.
Most students sit NET before their HSSC Part-II result, so NUST accepts Part-I marks for the HSSC component; admission is confirmed later on the full result with at least 60% marks. Each component is turned into a percentage of its own total and multiplied by its weight, so enter the totals printed on your result cards. NET is entered here out of 200; change the total if your result shows a different one.
A-level students get a special rule: "O/A Level candidates who are in A Level (final year) will be assigned 25% weightage to their O Level equivalence marks as per equivalence certificate issued by IBCC." In other words, their aggregate is NET 75% plus O-level equivalence 25%. Choose the A-level track and enter the marks and total from your IBCC O-level equivalence certificate.
Worked example: SSC 1000/1100, HSSC Part-I 480/550 and NET 150/200. SSC gives 1000 ÷ 1100 × 10 = 9.0909, HSSC gives 480 ÷ 550 × 15 = 13.0909 and NET gives 150 ÷ 200 × 75 = 56.2500, for an aggregate of 78.4318%. To reach 80% with the same board marks, the student would need at least 155 out of 200 in NET. An A-level candidate with 780/900 O-level equivalence and the same NET score gets 21.6667 + 56.25 = 77.9167%.
Because NET carries three-quarters of the weight, each NET mark is worth 0.375 aggregate points, far more than any board mark. The calculator shows this, the NET score you need for any target, a what-if table, and which NET paper each program family uses, so you know which test to prepare for and how far you are from your goal.
