UET ECAT Aggregate Calculator
FSc: 33% ECAT, 50% FSc Part-I, 17% Matric. O-Level: 33% ECAT, 67% O-Level. DAE: 33% ECAT, 33.5% Year 1, 33.5% Year 2.
Last updated · Page editedHow UET Lahore calculates your aggregate
UET ranks ECAT programmes by one aggregate: 33% ECAT plus your academic record. FSc students are counted on FSc Part-I (first year) marks, even if they have already finished Intermediate. O and A-Level students and DAE holders have their own splits. UET shows the merit to four decimal places and does not round up.
FSc and Matric students
Aggregate = (ECAT % × 0.33) + (FSc Part-I % × 0.5) + (Matric / SSC % × 0.17)
- 33% ECAT, out of 400.
- 50% FSc Part-I marks, out of your Part-I total (usually 520 or 550).
- 17% Matric (SSC).
O and A-Level students
Aggregate = (ECAT % × 0.33) + (O-Level % × 0.67)
- 33% ECAT.
- 67% O-Level marks from your IBCC equivalence certificate.
DAE holders
Aggregate = (ECAT % × 0.33) + (DAE Year 1 % × 0.335) + (DAE Year 2 % × 0.335)
- 33% ECAT.
- 33.5% DAE first year and 33.5% DAE second year, each out of its own total.
Which marks to enter
- ECAT: your score out of 400 (4 marks per correct answer).
- FSc: your Part-I marks and Part-I total, even if Part-II is out.
- O and A Levels: pick O/A Level and enter your O-Level IBCC equivalence marks out of 900. No certificate yet? Use the IBCC equivalence calculator.
- DAE: pick DAE and enter first-year and second-year marks with their own totals.
- Non-ECAT programmes (some business and science degrees) use 25% Matric and 75% Part-I instead. This calculator covers ECAT programmes.
Worked example: UET aggregate for engineering
| Part | Working | Points |
|---|---|---|
| ECAT 240 / 400 | 60% × 33% | 19.8000 |
| FSc Part-I 470 / 550 | 85.45% × 50% | 42.7273 |
| Matric / SSC 990 / 1100 | 90% × 17% | 15.3000 |
| UET Lahore aggregate | 77.8272% | |
You need an aggregate of at least 50% to be considered. Seats are filled by merit within your campus, programme and seat category.
UET closing merit 2026 (official)
UET publishes the minimum aggregate for every campus, programme, seat category and session after each merit list. The table shows Fall 2026 figures for open merit (A1, Punjab domicile, morning) from Merit List No. 1 and the 4th merit list, the last regular list. Later lists were waiting-queue rounds for students already admitted, so they are not shown here.
| Programme and campus | Merit List 1 | 4th merit list |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science, Lahore | 87.47 | 85.37 |
| Cybersecurity, Lahore | 86.54 | 85.60 |
| Data Science, Lahore | 85.16 | 84.02 |
| Electrical Engineering, Lahore | 85.14 | 83.33 |
| Mechatronics & Control, Lahore | 83.96 | 82.65 |
| Computer Engineering, Lahore | 83.76 | 82.11 |
| Mechanical Engineering, Lahore | 83.29 | 82.28 |
| Civil Engineering, Lahore | 82.64 | 80.96 |
| Chemical Engineering, Lahore | 81.70 | 80.01 |
| Architecture, Lahore | 81.75 | 79.35 |
| Software Engineering, KSK | 81.98 | 80.20 |
| Computer Science, KSK | 81.17 | 79.75 |
| Electrical Engineering, KSK | 77.45 | 76.02 |
| Mechanical Engineering, KSK | 77.51 | 75.94 |
How to use UET closing merit
Every UET figure is for one campus, programme, seat category and session. A1 is open merit for Punjab domicile, A2 is open merit with partial subsidy, and A1-M and A2-M are for other merit categories. The same programme closes lower at KSK, Faisalabad, Narowal and Gujranwala than at the main Lahore campus.
Compare your aggregate with the figure for the exact campus and category you will apply for, and keep backup preferences. The Fall 2027 cut-off will be different, because it depends on that year's applicants and seats. Find every list on UET's downloads page.
ECAT marks you need for UET
Use the target aggregate box: enter your Part-I and Matric marks and a target such as 85, and the calculator shows the ECAT score you need out of 400.
Because ECAT is only 33%, each 10 ECAT marks add 0.825 points, while each 10 Part-I marks (out of 550) add about 0.91 points. FSc Part-I and Matric decide half of your UET merit before you sit ECAT.
ECAT strategy for UET Lahore
ECAT carries 33%, so your Part-I and Matric marks matter as much as the test.
1. No negative marking
ECAT has 100 MCQs in 100 minutes: 10 English and 90 from your subject combination, 4 marks each. Wrong answers score zero, so attempt everything.
2. Match your subjects
Your ECAT subject combination must match your Intermediate subjects. UET only considers you for programmes linked to that combination (DAE holders are the exception).
3. Score counts for one year
An ECAT score counts only for that year's Fall admission. In 2026 UET held two ECATs.
4. Rank campuses carefully
The same programme closes several points lower at KSK and other campuses. Add them as backup preferences.
