Aggregate Calculator — MDCAT, NUMS, ECAT, NUST NET & FAST 2026
Calculate your admission aggregate for MDCAT, NUMS, ECAT (UET), NUST NET, FAST and GIKI from matric, intermediate and test marks using each university's published weightings.

In short
MDCAT merit aggregate = 10% matric + 40% intermediate + 50% MDCAT (out of 200), each as marks ÷ total; NUMS uses the same weights, UET's ECAT 70% intermediate + 30% ECAT (of 400), NUST 10% matric + 15% intermediate + 75% NET, FAST 10/40/50 and GIKI 15% intermediate + 85% test. Every 4 MDCAT marks move the aggregate by 1%.
Who this is for: Pakistani students estimating their merit position for medical, engineering and computing admissions.
The merit formulas
| Test | Matric | Intermediate | Entry test |
|---|---|---|---|
| MDCAT — public medical colleges (PMDC) | 10% | 40% | 50% (of 200) |
| NUMS — Army Medical College and affiliates | 10% | 40% | 50% (of 200) |
| ECAT — UET Lahore and affiliated colleges | — | 70% | 30% (of 400) |
| NUST NET | 10% | 15% | 75% (of 200) |
| FAST-NU (NU test, computing) | 10% | 40% | 50% |
| GIKI | — | 15% | 85% |
Each component is marks obtained ÷ total marks × weight, summed to give the aggregate percentage used for the merit list. A-level students use their IBCC equivalence marks. Hafiz-e-Quran candidates get up to 20 extra marks added to matric or intermediate marks under most policies.
The "test score needed for +1%" line shows how much each extra test mark moves the aggregate — for MDCAT, 4 marks per 1%, which is why test preparation outweighs small differences in FSc marks.

Assumptions
- Aggregate = Σ (marks ÷ total) × weight, using the weightings in the Pakistan rules file; test total defaults to the formula's test_max.
- Hafiz-e-Quran marks are added to matric (or intermediate when matric is not used) before dividing.
- Minimum-marks rules, SAT alternatives and quota adjustments are not modelled.
Worked example
Matric 95.45% × 10% = 9.55; FSc 85.00% × 40% = 34.00; MDCAT 82.50% × 50% = 41.25 → aggregate 84.80%.
Each extra 4 MDCAT marks adds 1% — reaching 90% aggregate would need about 186/200 with the same FSc marks.
Frequently asked questions
What aggregate is needed for MBBS in Pakistan?
Government colleges closed at roughly 88–94% in recent cycles in Punjab and Sindh; the PMDC minimum to apply is 55% in MDCAT plus the FSc pre-medical minimum, but actual admission needs far more.
Does MDCAT use FSc part-I marks if part-II is pending?
Provincial admitting universities use the full FSc result; if it is not out, admissions wait rather than using part-I alone. Improvement-exam marks count once the result is final.
How is the A-level equivalence calculated?
IBCC converts A-level grades to intermediate marks out of 1,100 (for example A* = 90%, A = 85%, B = 75%); use the equivalence certificate figures as the obtained and total marks.
Can I retake the entry test to improve my aggregate?
NUST NET can be attempted multiple times a year with the best score used; MDCAT is once a year with the previous year's score valid for admission in some provinces; ECAT once a year.
How is MDCAT aggregate calculated?
10% matric + 40% FSc + 50% MDCAT, each as a percentage of total marks — 1,050/1,100, 1,020/1,200 and 165/200 give 84.8%.
How is ECAT aggregate calculated for UET?
70% intermediate marks + 30% ECAT (out of 400); matric is not counted.
