About
This calculator is made for prospective students of NED University of Engineering & Technology, Karachi. It calculates your admission aggregate in real-time using the official 2025 merit formula: 40% HSC-I (or equivalent first-year) marks + 60% NED Entry Test score.
You can also try our MDCAT Aggregate Calculator 2025
The tool instantly compares your aggregate against historical closing merits of 25+ disciplines (like Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engg, Computer Science) and highlights programs where you may be eligible. All computations happen locally in your browser – no data is stored or transmitted.
How It Works
1. Input Your Marks:
- Enter your HSC-I/A-Level obtained marks and total marks
- Provide your NED Entry Test score (out of 100)
2. Real-Time Calculation:
- Formula:
[(Obtained HSC-I ÷ Total HSC-I) × 40%] + (Entry Test Score × 60%) - Example:
(480/550 = 87.27% × 0.4) + (75 × 0.6) = 79.91%
3. Merit Comparison:
- Disciplines turn green if your aggregate ≥ last year’s closing merit
- Programs in red indicate your score is below historical cutoff
4. Important Rules:
- Minimum 57% HSC-I required for Engineering/CS programs (noted in yellow)
- Test marks capped at 100
- Obtained marks cannot exceed total marks
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Is this calculator official?
No, this is an unofficial tool based on NED’s publicly announced 2025 admission formula. Always verify results with the university’s admission office.
2. Why does my HSC-I percentage need to be ≥57%?
NED mandates minimum 57% in HSC-I for Engineering/Architecture/CS programs. Lower scores may restrict program eligibility even with a high aggregate.
3. How accurate are the closing merits?
Merits reflect 2023-2024 cutoffs for estimation. Actual 2025 merits depend on applicant competition and seat availability.
4. Can A-Level students use this?
Yes, input your equivalence-converted marks (per IBCC rules) in the HSC-I fields. For example, if your A-Level grades equate to 780/900, enter those values.
5. Why do some disciplines show higher merit?
Competitive programs (e.g., Software Engineering, Computer Systems) typically have 80%+ aggregates due to high demand and limited seats.
6. What if my entry test score is 85/100?
Enter 85 in the test field. The system automatically treats it as 85% (since the test is out of 100).
7. Why am I seeing an error message?
Common mistakes are:
- Test marks > 100
- Obtained marks > total marks
- Negative values
- Blank fields
8. How often is merit data updated?
We change the merit list annually when NED releases new closing aggregates. The 2025 list will update post-admissions.
9. Can I use this for other universities?
No, this calculator uses NED-specific weightings (40% HSC-I + 60% test). Other universities may use 70% matric/FSC + 30% test.
10. My aggregate is 0.5% below a cutoff. Can I still apply?
Yes, the closing merits fluctuate yearly. If you’re within 1-2% of last year’s cutoff, you may still qualify. Always apply for your preferred discipline.
