UOS Admission Regulations (4.1.1): merit of all undergraduate programmes is 60% terminal degree (Intermediate) + 40% Matric. The College of Engineering & Technology uses its own splits: BSc Engineering = 17% Matric + 50% HSSC + 33% PEC entry test (e.g. ECAT), and Engineering Technology = 70% HSSC + 30% entry test. A Hafiz-e-Quran gets 20 marks added to merit after passing the UOS Hifz test.

University of Sargodha Merit Formula 2026
| Programme | Official UOS formula | Test |
|---|---|---|
| All undergraduate programmes (BS, BBA, LLB, Pharm-D...) | 40% Matric + 60% Intermediate | None weighted |
| BSc Civil, Electrical, Computer, Mechanical Engineering | 17% Matric + 50% HSSC/DAE + 33% entry test | PEC-designated test (ECAT-UOS, UET ECAT, NUST, NED, ETEA, MUET, NTS) |
| Engineering Technology (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Biomedical) | 70% HSSC/DAE + 30% entry test | University or HEC/NTC-designated test |
The general rule is clause 4.1.1 of UOS’s Admission Regulations. It says all departments must follow one uniform merit policy. The engineering splits come from the College of Engineering & Technology section of the UOS Prospectus 2026.
One other calculator lists BSc Electrical Engineering as 70% HSSC + 30% test. UOS’s prospectus gives 70/30 only for Engineering Technology; BSc Electrical Engineering uses 17/50/33.
How to Calculate Your UOS Merit
| Programme | Matric (950/1100) | Inter (900/1100) | Test | Merit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BS (40-60) | 34.55 | 49.09 | — | 83.64% |
| BSc Engineering (17-50-33) | 14.68 | 40.91 | ECAT 250/400: 20.63 | 76.22% |
| Engineering Technology (70-30) | — | 57.27 | 70/100: 21.00 | 78.27% |
A Hafiz-e-Quran who passes the Hifz test adds 1.82 points, so the BS example becomes 85.46%.
UOS Admission Rules You Should Know
- Part-I admission is provisional. You can apply with Part-I marks while Part-II is awaited; admission is confirmed on the full result.
- Hafiz-e-Quran: attach your certificate with the online form and pass the UOS Hifz Committee test to get 20 marks.
- Age limit: 26 years on the last date of applications (24 for students admitted after Intermediate in any UOS discipline), with some exceptions.
- Ties go to the older candidate.
- Self-finance seats: 10 per undergraduate programme, at Rs. 100,000 per year above the normal fee.
- Engineering Technology requires at least 50% overall adjusted admission marks.
- LLB applicants must pass HEC’s Law Admission Test (LAT) with at least 50%. It is a qualifying test only; merit is still 40% Matric + 60% Intermediate.
What Each Mark Is Worth at UOS
| Improvement | BS (40-60) | BSc Engineering (17-50-33) |
|---|---|---|
| +10 Intermediate marks (out of 1100) | +0.55 points | +0.45 points |
| +10 Matric marks (out of 1100) | +0.36 points | +0.15 points |
| +10 ECAT marks (out of 400) | — | +0.83 points |
For BS programmes, Matric counts for 40%, more than at most universities, so a strong Matric result matters here.
Common UOS Merit Mistakes
- Using an NTS-based formula for BS. UOS BS programmes use 40% Matric + 60% Intermediate with no test.
- Using 70-30 for BSc Engineering. That split is for Engineering Technology; BSc Engineering is 17-50-33.
- Adding Hafiz marks without the Hifz test. UOS gives them only after its committee’s test.
- Treating the estimate as final. Only UOS’s merit lists are official.
