Frequently asked questions
What is the merit formula at FAST-NUCES?
FAST-NUCES builds its merit list from Matric / O-Level (10%), Intermediate / A-Level (40%), NU Entry Test (50%). Each component percentage is multiplied by its weight and summed to give the merit score used to rank applicants.
Is merit the same as aggregate at FAST-NUCES?
They are usually the same number: the aggregate is your weighted score, and the merit list ranks every applicant by that score. Some FAST-NUCES programmes add interview or portfolio marks on top.
How many merit lists does FAST-NUCES issue?
Most Pakistani universities including FAST-NUCES publish three to five merit lists, each with a lower closing merit than the last as selected candidates decline seats.
Does hafiz-e-Quran or sports quota affect merit?
Yes, bonus marks under hafiz-e-Quran, sports or reserved-quota policies are added after the base merit score is calculated, where FAST-NUCES policy allows it.
