Calculate your aggregate
What score do I need?
Enter your Matric and FSc marks above and a target aggregate below. The calculator will tell you what entry test score you need, and it will tell you plainly if the target is impossible.
What an aggregate actually is
Universities do not rank students on raw marks alone, because Matric, FSc and an entry test have different totals. An aggregate turns each part into a percent first, then gives each part a weight, then adds the weighted parts. That one weighted percent is the number universities use to rank applicants.
Formula table
MDCAT: Matric 10 percent, FSc 40 percent, MDCAT 50 percent, MDCAT total 180. Older pages that show a total of 200 are outdated. Do not use them.
UET ECAT: Matric 17 percent, FSc 50 percent, ECAT 33 percent, ECAT total 400.
Routes not yet added, and why: NUST and FAST are not in this first version, because sources disagree on their formulas. They will only be added after their current official prospectus is checked. A narrow calculator that is right is better than a wide calculator that is wrong on some routes.
How to calculate, step by step
- Turn Matric marks into a percent: obtained divided by total, times 100.
- Turn FSc marks into a percent the same way.
- Turn your entry test score into a percent the same way.
- Multiply each percent by its weight, then add the three weighted parts.
Worked examples
Example A, MDCAT: Matric 1000 out of 1100 equals 90.91 percent. Times 0.10 equals 9.09. FSc 1000 out of 1100 equals 90.91 percent. Times 0.40 equals 36.36. MDCAT 160 out of 180 equals 88.89 percent. Times 0.50 equals 44.44. Aggregate from the unrounded values equals 89.90 percent. The small difference from adding the rounded parts is only rounding.
Example B, UET ECAT: Matric 90 percent times 0.17 equals 15.30. FSc 85 percent times 0.50 equals 42.50. ECAT 300 out of 400 equals 75 percent. Times 0.33 equals 24.75. Aggregate equals 15.30 plus 42.50 plus 24.75, which equals 82.55 percent.
Example C, reverse, MDCAT target 90 percent: Matric 90.91 percent and FSc 90.91 percent give 9.09 plus 36.36, which equals 45.45. The amount still needed from MDCAT is 90 minus 45.45, which equals 44.55. Required MDCAT percent is 44.55 divided by 0.50, which equals 89.10 percent, which is 161 out of 180, rounded up, because you cannot score part of a mark.
Common mistakes
Using an MDCAT total of 200 instead of 180. Using full FSc where a route uses only one part, or the other way round. Mixing board totals, for example 1100 and 1200, without checking your own total. Adding a bonus that the current rules do not give. Treating a pass as a seat. A pass only means you can apply. A seat depends on the official merit list.
After your aggregate, what happens next, in order
First, the official admission portal. Next, the provisional merit list. Next, the final merit list. Next, college wise selection. Do not trust dates from an old page. Check the current official notice for this cycle.
Questions
Is this official? No. This is an unofficial estimate from the formula shown. The official prospectus and the official merit list are the only authoritative sources.
Can I use it for private colleges? Use the same formula only if that college says it uses the same formula in its current prospectus. Otherwise, check that college first.
What if my board total is different? Change the total marks boxes to your own total. The calculator uses the totals you enter.
What if my FSc result is under rechecking? Your aggregate will change when your marks change. Calculate again with the new marks.
Do A Level students use the same formula? The same weights apply, but you use your IBCC equivalence percent first. Check the current prospectus for how equivalence is used.
Does Kezlo Learn collect my marks? No. All calculation happens in your browser. No roll number and no personal details are asked for, and nothing is sent to a server.
