Frequently asked questions
How is the NUST admission aggregate calculated?
NUST weights applicants as follows: Matric / O-Level 10%, Intermediate / A-Level 15%, NET Entry Test 75%. Your percentage in each component is multiplied by its weight and the results are added.
What aggregate is needed for admission to NUST?
Closing merit changes every year and by programme. Competitive programmes at NUST historically close between 70% and 85% aggregate, while less saturated programmes can close in the 55-65% range.
Does NUST accept A-Level and O-Level results?
Yes. A-Level and O-Level applicants must submit an IBCC equivalence certificate, and the equivalence marks are used in place of intermediate and matric marks in the aggregate formula.
Is the entry test the most important part?
For NUST the entry test carries 75% of the aggregate, so it is usually the component where applicants gain or lose the most ground.
