What is the COMSATS Merit Formula?

COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI) uses the standard HEC formula for merit calculation. One unique feature: COMSATS accepts scores from multiple entry tests — its own COMSATS Entry Test, NTS NAT-IE, and SAT (for international students). All scores are converted to a percentage out of 100 before applying the formula.

Official COMSATS Merit Formula 2026

Aggregate = (Matric% × 10%) + (FSc% × 40%) + (Entry Test% × 50%)

Entry test score is always expressed as a percentage (0–100). If you have an SAT score, convert it first: SAT Score / 1600 × 100. For NTS NAT, use the score as-is out of 100.

Worked Example — COMSATS Aggregate Calculation

Matric

935/1100

= 85%

FSc ICS

825/1100

= 75%

Entry Test

65/100

= 65%

COMSATS Calculation:

Matric: 85% × 10% = 8.50

FSc: 75% × 40% = 30.00

Entry: 65% × 50% = 32.50

Aggregate = 8.50 + 30.00 + 32.50 = 71.00%

71% exceeds the COMSATS Islamabad CS closing merit of ~68%, making this student competitive for CS at the main campus.
