MAJU Merit Formula: 30% Academic + 50% Test + 20% Interview
| Component | Weight | What MAJU uses |
|---|---|---|
| Admission test | 50% | Essay (20 marks) + 100 MCQs: verbal 50, quantitative 50 |
| Previous academic record | 30% | Intermediate / DAE / A-Level (Part-I if your result is awaited) |
| Interview | 20% | Conducted by MAJU after the test |
This applies to all BS programmes and BBA. PhD merit uses a different split: 15% for the 16-year degree, 15% for the 18-year degree, 30% interview and 40% admission test. MAJU converts CGPA linearly into a percentage.

- Applying while waiting for a supplementary. Your Intermediate marks count as zero.
- Skipping interview preparation. The interview is worth 20% of merit.
