Aggregate Calculator (University Merit, Pakistan)
Work out your admission aggregate from matric, intermediate and entry test marks, with any weights.
What an aggregate is
Universities in Pakistan rank applicants by an aggregate, also called a merit percentage. It combines your matric marks, your intermediate marks and your entry test score, each with its own weight. The merit list is made from the highest aggregate down until the seats are filled.
Formula: aggregate = (matric % × matric weight) + (intermediate % × intermediate weight) + (entry test % × test weight), where the three weights add up to 100%.
This calculator lets you set the weights yourself, so it works for any university or programme. It starts with the common 10% matric, 40% intermediate and 50% entry test split.
Weights used by major universities
| University or test | Matric | Intermediate | Entry test | Calculator |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medical colleges (MDCAT) | 10% | 40% | 50% | MDCAT aggregate |
| NUMS (NUMS MDCAT) | 10% | 40% | 50% | NUMS aggregate |
| NUST (NET) | 10% | 15% | 75% | NUST aggregate |
| UET Lahore (ECAT) | 17% | 50% | 33% | UET aggregate |
| FAST-NUCES, computing and business | 10% | 40% | 50% | FAST aggregate |
| FAST-NUCES, engineering | 17% | 50% | 33% | FAST aggregate |
| COMSATS (NTS NAT) | 10% | 40% | 50% | COMSATS aggregate |
| Air University, engineering | 10% | 50% | 40% | Air University aggregate |
Weights can change between admission cycles, so check your university’s admissions page.
Worked example
Matric 950 out of 1,100, intermediate 950 out of 1,100 and an entry test score of 140 out of 200, with 10%, 40% and 50% weights:
- Matric: 950 ÷ 1,100 × 10 = 8.64
- Intermediate: 950 ÷ 1,100 × 40 = 34.55
- Entry test: 140 ÷ 200 × 50 = 35.00
- Aggregate: 78.18%
How the entry test changes your aggregate
| Entry test score | 70% in Matric and Inter | 80% in Matric and Inter | 90% in Matric and Inter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50% (100 out of 200) | 60.00% | 65.00% | 70.00% |
| 60% (120 out of 200) | 65.00% | 70.00% | 75.00% |
| 70% (140 out of 200) | 70.00% | 75.00% | 80.00% |
| 80% (160 out of 200) | 75.00% | 80.00% | 85.00% |
| 90% (180 out of 200) | 80.00% | 85.00% | 90.00% |
With a 50% test weight, every extra 10 marks out of 200 adds 2.5 points to the aggregate.
O Level and A Level students
Grades cannot be entered directly. Get your equivalence from IBCC first, then enter the equivalence marks and total in the Matric and Intermediate boxes.
What this estimate leaves out
- Closing merit: your aggregate only tells you where you stand. Whether it is enough depends on the closing merit of the programme and campus, which changes every year.
- Quotas and reserved seats: these are handled outside this formula.
- Rule changes: universities can change their weights between admission cycles. Confirm the current formula on the university’s admissions page before you rely on the result.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my aggregate for university admission?
Convert your matric, intermediate and entry test marks to percentages, multiply each by its weight, and add the three results. With 10/40/50 weights, 86.36% in matric and intermediate and 70% in the test gives 78.18%.
What is the difference between aggregate and merit?
The aggregate is your own combined percentage. The merit, or closing merit, is the aggregate of the last student admitted to a programme.
What is the 10/40/50 formula?
It gives 10% weight to matric, 40% to intermediate and 50% to the entry test. Medical colleges, COMSATS and FAST computing programmes use it.
Can I calculate my aggregate with Part I marks?
Yes. Many universities use intermediate Part I marks when the Part II result is not out. Enter your Part I marks and the Part I total.
How much entry test score do I need for a target aggregate?
Enter your target in the calculator. It subtracts your matric and intermediate shares from the target and divides by the test weight.
Do all universities use the same aggregate formula?
No. Each university sets its own weights, and some use different weights for engineering and other programmes.
