Frequently asked questions about NUST

This post will answer the general questions about NUST, NET, merits and such issues.

Q1) When the result of Paper Based Test and Architecture will be announced?
Answer: The last paper based test in Karachi & Quetta was held on July 5th, a few students in Islamabad were made to appear in written test instead of computer based test because of some visionary issues and last test of Architecture in Islamabad was conducted on July 8th. All these results will be out on the same day probably. According to NUST, result of architecture is prepared in about two weeks. So these results are expected to be announced between 20 to 25th July.

Q2) When the merit lists will be announced?
Answer: After the announcement of all the results, NUST will announce the merit positions for Engineering, Business Studies and Architecture based on their marks of matric, FSc Part 1 and NET. When the merit positions are announced, students would have an option to change their preferences as well. A few days will be provided to make the change in preferences and after this deadline the first merit list will be uploaded. Merit positions will be out in last week of July and merit list is expected to be out in first week of August. 
For medical the merit positions will be out in September, when the result of Fsc Part 2 is announced.

Q3) How can we change our preferences?
Answer: When NUST announces the merit positions, you will give a couple of days to change you preferences. Before that no change in the form can be made.

Q4) What were the closing merits of last year/How much percentage we need to secure admission?
Answer: The expected closing merits of NUST are listed below:
  • MBBS: Last year merit closed at about 84.9%. So 85%+ should be considered safe. For PCs, the merit is about 2-3% less than open merit.
  • BDS: 83.5% + is fine enough for BDS. However the students having 83% also have a chance.
  • Bio-Sciences: Students with 75%+ will be able to get in.
  • Business Studies: Last year merit of Business Studies closed near 58%, so the merit above 58% is safe for getting admission. However For Economics you need about 60% and for BBA and Bs Accounting and Finance 63% + . 
  • Engineering: Merit above 65%+ would get you admission in Engineering. The table below will help you in knowing where you stand.These will be the merits in the very last list. In the first list merits would be higher. But many students will leave the seats for other universities like GIKI, PIEAS, UET etc, so merit will fall in second and the next lists. In 2014 There were 8 merit lists.

                                       Field   Approximate Minimum aggregate for admission   
    Mechanical Engineering (Islamabad)
    75.5%
    Mechanical Engineering (Rawalpindi)
    74.5%
    Electrical Engineering (Islamabad)
    Electrical Engineering (Rawalpindi)
    73.5%
    Aerospace Engineering (Risalpur)
    72%
    Civil Engineering (Islamabad)
    71%
    Chemical Engineering (Islamabad)
    Mechatronics Engineering (Rawalpindi)
    Avionics Engineering (Risalpur)
    70.5%
    Software Engineering (Islamabad)
    Mechanical Engineering (Karachi)
    69%
    Civil Engineering (Risalpur)
    Computer Software Engineering (Rawalpindi)
    67.5%
    Electrical (Telecom) Engineering (Rawalpindi)
    67%
    Mechanical Engineering (Winter Session) (Karachi)
    Material Engineering (Islamabad)
    Computer Engineering (Rawalpindi)
    66.5%
    Electrical Engineering (Karachi)
    Computer Science (Islamabad)
    Environmental Engineering (Islamabad)
    65%
    Geo Informatics Engineering (Islamabad)
    Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering (Karachi)

    For Paying cadets, merit is much lower. Students near 110 can also get admission on PC seat. A fellow girl with 112 marks in NET is in EME Electrical on PC seat.
  • Architecture: In architecture students are not able to score much higher marks. The highest marks are usually in 120s or 130s. So a result merit of SADA is lower. If you score above 90 in NET for SADA, you have a chance.
  • Note: These are neither official nor exact figures. Just an approximate, merit less than the above mentioned percentages might also get you in if the merit falls. So do not lose hope. 
Q5) How many seats are available in NUST?
Answer: The distribution of seats in NUST, for all the fields, is available on the following link: Distribution of seats in  NUST

As soon as we can any confirm update about result or merit lists we will announce it on our Facebook Page. Feel free to ask in case of any issue.

Inverse of a Function

Inverse of a Function In this Post I will discuss the method for finding the inverse of a given function from the 4 options as given in the Entrance tests of Engineering Universities. The very first step before finding the inverse is to make a check whether the function is One-to-One or not.  By One-to-One function we mean that function for example f(x) should not have the same value at two different values of x. In other words for each element of the Domain there should be a distinct element in the range. Check for One-to-One: A function which passes the horizontal line test is a One-to-One function. This means if a horizontal line is drawn it should not cross the function curve at more than one point. Another way to check if a function is One-to-One or not is shown below: If , f(a) = f(b) , implies that a=b , the given function is One-to-One. Consider the following examples: f(x) = 5x + 10 f(a) = 5a + 10 f(b) = 5b + 10 Taking f(a) = f(b) gives, 5a...
