HITEC’s Admission Policy 2026-27 (section 6, “Determination of Merit”) sets two formulas. BS Engineering and BS CS, Software Engineering, AI and Cyber Security: 17% SSC + 50% HSSC + 33% admission test. BS IoT, Robotics, Mathematics, Islamic Studies, Accounting & Finance, BBA and Business Analytics: 30% SSC + 70% HSSC, with no test. You may take the test twice; the best result counts.
Calculate your HITEC University merit
Free · instant · no loginEnter your HSSC marks against their total (Part-I against 550 if your result is awaited). Enter your HITEC test or NTS NAT score against its total (NAT has 90 questions).
What Admission test score do you need?
Set your target merit and we work backwards from your Matric and FSc marks to the Admission test score you need. The grid shows your merit at every score from 50% to 100% of the paper.
HITEC University Merit Formula 2026-27
| Programmes | Admission test | HSSC / A-Level | SSC / O-Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| BS Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Biomedical, Computer) | 33% | 50% | 17% |
| BS Computer Science, Software Engineering, AI, Cyber Security | 33% | 50% | 17% |
| BS Internet of Things, Robotics & Automation, Mathematics, Islamic Studies, Accounting & Finance, BBA, Business Analytics | No test | 70% | 30% |
This is section 6 (“Determination of Merit”) of HITEC University’s Admission Policy for the 2026-27 session. Two other online calculators use different splits for HITEC: a “fallback” 10/40/50 and an older 20/50/30. Neither matches HITEC’s current policy.
How to Calculate Your HITEC Merit
| Component | Marks | Percentage | Engineering (17-50-33) | BBA etc. (30-70) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HSSC | 900 / 1100 | 81.82% | 40.91 | 57.27 |
| Admission test | 65 / 100 | 65.00% | 21.45 | — |
| SSC | 950 / 1100 | 86.36% | 14.68 | 25.91 |
| Merit | — | — | 77.04% | 83.18% |
HITEC Admission Test
The written admission test is compulsory for BS Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Biomedical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, AI and Cyber Security. Valid NTS NAT (IE, ICS or IM) results and tests from PEC-recognised agencies are also accepted. You can take the test up to two times; the best result is used. In Fall 2026 the test ran online every Tuesday and Thursday, with an on-campus option.
| Subject | Civil / Mechanical / Electrical | Biomedical | Computer Engg & computing |
|---|---|---|---|
| English | 20% | 20% | 20% |
| Physics | 30% | 30% | 30% |
| Mathematics | 30% | Biology/Maths 30% | 30% |
| Chemistry | 20% | 20% | Chemistry/CS 20% |
HITEC University Eligibility Criteria
| Programme | Minimum |
|---|---|
| BS Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Computer Engineering | 60% in HSSC with Maths, Physics, Chemistry; or Physics, Maths, CS (remedial Chemistry); or Pre-Medical (8-week condensed maths); or relevant DAE 60% |
| BS Biomedical Engineering | 60% in HSSC Pre-Engineering, Pre-Medical or ICS, or relevant DAE |
| BS CS, Software Engineering, AI, Cyber Security, Computer Engineering (NCEAC) | 50% with Mathematics (without maths: 6 credit hours deficiency); DAE 50% |
| BS Mathematics | 50% with Mathematics (DAE 50%) |
| BS Islamic Studies | 45% (Khassa certificate also accepted) |
| BBA, BS Accounting & Finance, Business Analytics, Robotics & Automation, Internet of Things | 45% |
Applicants with only a Part-I result must submit a hope certificate. Admission stays provisional until your full HSSC result and attested documents are submitted.
HITEC Merit Scholarships
- 100% tuition fee waiver for the full degree to the top 25 board position holders (terms apply).
- Up to 50% tuition fee waiver for the top 250 in HITEC’s aggregate merit list.
- Semester-based scholarships for high achievers, and financial assistance for needy students.
What Each Mark Is Worth at HITEC
| Improvement | Engineering / computing (17-50-33) | No-test programmes (30-70) |
|---|---|---|
| +10 HSSC marks (out of 1100) | +0.45 points | +0.64 points |
| +1 test mark (out of 100) | +0.33 points | — |
| +10 SSC marks (out of 1100) | +0.15 points | +0.27 points |
A higher aggregate also matters for the top-250 scholarship, which is based on HITEC’s aggregate merit list.
Common HITEC Merit Mistakes
- Using 10/40/50 or 20/50/30. HITEC’s 2026-27 policy uses 17/50/33.
- Adding a test for BBA or Robotics. Those programmes use 30% SSC + 70% HSSC with no test.
- Taking the test only once. You can sit it twice and keep the better score.
- Treating the estimate as final. Only HITEC’s merit lists are official.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HITEC University merit formula?
For BS Engineering and BS CS, Software Engineering, AI and Cyber Security: 17% SSC + 50% HSSC + 33% admission test. For BS IoT, Robotics, Mathematics, Islamic Studies, Accounting & Finance, BBA and Business Analytics: 30% SSC + 70% HSSC.
Does HITEC accept NTS NAT?
Yes. Valid NTS NAT (IE, ICS or IM) results and tests from PEC-recognised agencies are accepted instead of the HITEC test.
How many times can I take the HITEC entry test?
Up to two times. HITEC uses your best result.
How is the HITEC aggregate calculated?
For engineering: SSC % × 0.17 + HSSC % × 0.50 + test % × 0.33. For example, 950/1100, 900/1100 and 65/100 give 77.04%.
What is the minimum percentage for HITEC engineering?
60% in HSSC (Pre-Engineering, ICS with Physics and Maths, Pre-Medical with condensed maths) or a relevant DAE.
Can Pre-Medical students apply for engineering at HITEC?
Yes, with at least 60% and an 8-week condensed mathematics programme, as PEC allows.
Which HITEC programmes have no entry test?
BS Internet of Things, Robotics & Automation, Mathematics, Islamic Studies, Accounting & Finance, BBA and Business Analytics.
Is this the official HITEC merit?
No. This is an independent calculator built from HITEC’s own Admission Policy 2026-27. HITEC publishes the official merit lists.
