UET aggregate formula with ECAT
UET Lahore and other Punjab engineering universities admit students on an aggregate of Matric, FSc and the ECAT entry test. The weighting most widely reported is:
| Part | Weight |
|---|---|
| Matric (SSC) | 17% |
| FSc Pre-Engineering (HSSC) | 50% |
| ECAT (out of 400) | 33% |
Aggregate = (Matric % × 0.17) + (FSc % × 0.50) + (ECAT % × 0.33)
Worked example
Matric 1000/1100 (90.91%), FSc 950/1100 (86.36%) and ECAT 250/400 (62.5%):
15.455 + 43.182 + 20.625 = 79.261%
Why FSc marks matter so much
With half the weight on FSc, your board result counts more than the test. A 20-mark difference in FSc (out of 1100) changes the aggregate by about 0.9 points, which can be dozens of places on a merit list.
How many ECAT marks do I need?
Leave the ECAT box empty and enter your target aggregate, for example last year's closing merit for your chosen discipline. The calculator shows the ECAT score you need out of 400.
Formulas and test totals change, sometimes every year. The weights here are the most widely published ones at the time of writing; always confirm them in the official prospectus or merit notice, and edit the weights in the calculator if they differ.
