MERIT & PROGRAMS
NUST Engineering Admission Merit Guide
Electrical, Mechanical, Civil and Chemical Engineering all use the same aggregate formula but differ noticeably in competitiveness and available seats.
Engineering schools at NUST
Engineering programmes are spread across several schools: SEECS (Electrical Engineering), SMME (Mechanical & Manufacturing), SCEE (Civil & Environmental), and SCME (Chemical & Materials). Each maintains its own merit list per campus, even though the underlying aggregate formula 75% NET, 15% FSc, 10% Matric is identical across all of them.
NET stream for engineering applicants
Engineering and Computing applicants sit the same NET stream, weighted Mathematics 50%, Physics 30%, English 20%. See the full NET syllabus for the topic by topic breakdown most relevant to engineering preparation.
Relative competitiveness across disciplines
Electrical Engineering at SEECS tends to sit just below Computer Science in demand, with Mechanical, Civil and Chemical Engineering typically admitting at a somewhat lower aggregate in most cycles though this shifts year to year, so check current closing merit figures before finalising your preference order.
