How Is Merit Calculated for NUTECH Admissions?

NUTECH uses a clear merit formula that gives significant weight to the entry test score.nutech+1

Merit Formula

Undergraduate/BS Programs:

Merit Calculation Example

Example 1: Candidate A

• Matric Marks: 950/1100 (86.36%)

• FSc Marks: 1020/1100 (92.73%)

• NUET-1 Score: 85/100 (85%)

Merit Calculation:

• Matric: 86.36 × 10% = 8.64

• FSc: 92.73 × 20% = 18.55

• Entry Test: 85 × 70% = 59.50

• Total Aggregate Merit: 8.64 + 18.55 + 59.50 = 86.69%

Example 2: Candidate B

• Matric Marks: 1050/1100 (95.45%)

• FSc Marks: 1080/1100 (98.18%)

• NUET-1 Score: 70/100 (70%)

Merit Calculation:

• Matric: 95.45 × 10% = 9.55

• FSc: 98.18 × 20% = 19.64

• Entry Test: 70 × 70% = 49.00

• Total Aggregate Merit: 9.55 + 19.64 + 49.00 = 78.19%

Key Insight: Despite Candidate B having higher Matric and FSc marks, Candidate A's superior entry test performance (85 vs 70) results in a higher overall merit (86.69% vs 78.19%). This demonstrates why the 70% entry test weightage is critical for admission success.

Expected Merit Ranges (Based on Past Years)

Note: These are estimates based on typical competition levels. Actual merit varies yearly.

Tip: To maximize your chances, aim for an aggregate merit of 85% or above for competitive programs like Electrical Engineering, AI, and Computer Science.
