What Is Merit Aggregate?
Engineering and competitive universities worldwide combine **school grades and entrance test scores** into one weighted percentage — your **admission aggregate**. Cutoffs change every year.
Examples by Region
| Region | Typical components ||--------|-------------------|| Pakistan (NUST/UET) | Matric + Inter + NET/ECAT || India (JEE/state) | Class 12 + entrance exam || US | GPA + SAT/ACT (holistic review) |Use our calculator with **presets or custom weights** for any formula.
NUST (NET) Weights
| Component | Weight ||-----------|--------|| Matric / SSC | 10% || Intermediate | 15% || NET Entry Test | 75% |**Formula:** Aggregate = (Matric% × 0.10) + (Inter% × 0.15) + (NET% × 0.75)
UET (ECAT) Weights
| Component | Weight ||-----------|--------|| Matric | 25% || Intermediate | 45% || ECAT | 30% |FAST-NU Weights
| Component | Weight ||-----------|--------|| Matric | 10% || Intermediate | 40% || FAST Test | 50% |Example: NUST Aggregate
Aggregate: (86.36×0.10) + (81.82×0.15) + (72.5×0.75) = 75.29%
