The merit calculator at allgradecalculator.com is built for Pakistani admissions — it converts your Matric, Intermediate, and entry test scores into a single merit percentage using the standard formula for the program you choose. Pick a preset (medical, engineering, CS, or general) and the weights load automatically.
Default weights applied automatically — edit them below if needed.
Estimated merit
80%
Govt. medical college merit usually closes 88–92%.
Merit = Matric × 10% + Inter × 40% + Test × 50%. Always verify with the official merit policy of the university you are applying to.

Conversion formula
Standard HEC formula: percentage = (CGPA / 4.0) × 100.
How it differs from standard HEC
Engineering, EE and CS departments use relative grading (curve set per cohort), so the same raw 75% can earn a B in one semester and an A in another. CS A-grade cut-offs typically cluster around 80–85%.
Reference data only. Always confirm with your university registrar before quoting a CGPA, percentage, or merit number on a job application or visa form.

How merit lists work in Pakistan
Pakistani universities publish a merit list ordered by aggregate (also called merit) percentage. Your aggregate is a weighted combination of three numbers — Matric, Intermediate, and the entry test relevant to your program. The weights vary by university and even by department, but the math is the same: multiply each input by its weight and sum.

Step-by-step
Pick the program preset.
Verify the weights match your university's prospectus. Edit if needed.
Enter your Matric, Intermediate and test percentages.
Read your merit percentage and compare against last year's closing merit.
Historical closing merit ranges
Public medical colleges: typically 88–92% closing merit.
UET Lahore engineering: 78–88% depending on department.
NUST CS / EE: 80–88% (NET-heavy).
FAST-NUCES CS: 78–86% across campuses.
Provincial general universities: 65–75% closing merit.
Tips for raising your merit
Because the test has the highest weight in most programs, re-taking the entry test (when allowed) is the fastest way to raise your merit. Improvement exams for FSc subjects are the second-fastest. Matric is fixed once awarded — focus your time where it counts.
allgradecalculator.com keeps the merit calculator free and updated whenever PMC, HEC, or major universities change their policies.
Merit = Matric × w1 + Intermediate × w2 + Test × w3, where the weights depend on the program. Common weights: medical 10/40/50, ECAT engineering 17/50/33, NUST 10/15/75 for the NET.
Why does merit closing percentage shift each year?+
Closing merit depends on how many candidates score above each threshold. A harder test compresses the spread; an easier test pushes closing merit up.
Should I use weighted percentages directly?+
Yes — make sure each input is already a percentage. The calculator multiplies by your weights without re-scaling.
