Decoding the NUST Entry Test (NET) Aggregate
The National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) is one of the most prestigious institutes in Pakistan. Securing admission requires a solid strategy, primarily because of how heavily their merit formula is skewed towards their own entry test.
Why the NET is Crucial
Unlike other universities that may give 50% weightage to your High School marks, NUST assigns a massive 75% weightage to the NET.
- O/A Level Candidates: Your grades must first be converted into an equivalence certificate (issued by IBCC) to extract the percentage required for this calculator.
- Multiple Attempts: NUST conducts the NET in multiple series (NET-1, NET-2, NET-3, NET-4). Your best score among all attempts is considered for the final aggregate.
Frequently Asked Questions
