What is Merit in Pakistani University Admissions?

Merit (aggregate percentage) determines whether you get admission to a Pakistani university. It is calculated by combining your FSc marks, Matric marks, and entry test score (MDCAT for medical, ECAT for engineering) using a weighted formula.

Each university may have slightly different weightings, but the standard formulas widely used in Pakistan are:

Medical Colleges (MBBS/BDS) — Standard Formula:
FSc Marks: 50% + Matric Marks: 10% + MDCAT Score: 40%

Engineering Universities — Standard Formula:
FSc Marks: 50-60% + Matric Marks: 10% + ECAT Score: 30-40%
