UAJK’s Fall 2026 merit lists use four formulas. Most BS programmes: your combined SSC + HSSC marks as a percentage (the entry test, where held, is pass/fail at 50%). B.Sc. Electrical and Software Engineering: SSC 10% + HSSC 50% + entry test 40%. B.Sc. Engineering Technology: HSSC 70% + entry test 30%. DPT, Allied Health and LLB: 70% of combined SSC + HSSC marks + 30% entry test.
Calculate your UAJK merit
Free · instant · no loginFormulas are taken from UAJK’s own Fall 2026 merit lists, checked candidate by candidate. If you have only Part-I marks, enter them with their total (e.g. 450 / 550), as UAJK does.
UAJK Merit Formula 2026 (by Programme)
| Programmes | UAJK merit formula | Checked on |
|---|---|---|
| BS Economics, Psychology, Biotechnology, Zoology, Botany, English, Urdu, History, Islamic Studies, Political Science, Mass Communication and other BS | (SSC + HSSC marks obtained) ÷ (SSC + HSSC total) × 100 | Biotechnology, Psychology, Zoology, English lists |
| B.Sc. Electrical Engineering, B.Sc. Software Engineering | SSC 10% + HSSC 50% + entry test 40% | Software Engineering list (weightage columns /10, /50, /40) |
| B.Sc. Software / Computer Engineering Technology | HSSC 70% + entry test 30% | Software Engineering Technology list (/70, /30) |
| DPT, BS Allied Health (e.g. Anaesthesia Technology), LLB | 70% of combined SSC + HSSC marks + 30% entry test | DPT and Anaesthesia lists |
UAJK’s 2022-23 prospectus gave Electrical Engineering as “Matric 10%, Intermediate 60%, Entry Test 30%”. The Fall 2026 lists use 10/50/40 instead, so this calculator follows the 2026 lists. The Biomedical Engineering Technology list for 2026 used SSC 30% + HSSC 70%.
Worked Examples from the 2026 Merit Lists
| Programme | Candidate’s marks | Calculation | Merit |
|---|---|---|---|
| B.Sc. Software Engineering | SSC 960/1100, HSSC 974/1200, test 84 | 8.73 + 40.58 + 33.60 | 82.91 |
| DPT | SSC 1057/1100, HSSC 1091/1200, test 79 | (2148 ÷ 2300) × 70 + 79 × 0.3 | 89.07 |
| BS Biotechnology | HSSC 1116/1200, SSC 1058/1100 | 2174 ÷ 2300 × 100 | 94.52 |
Each result matches the total printed on UAJK’s own Fall 2026 merit list.

Common UAJK Merit Mistakes
- Using 10/60/30 for every programme. Most UAJK BS programmes rank on combined academic marks, not an entry-test formula.
- Averaging SSC and HSSC percentages. UAJK adds the marks first, so a 1200-mark HSSC weighs a little more than an 1100-mark SSC.
- Adding SSC for Engineering Technology. The 2026 Software Engineering Technology list counts only HSSC (70%) and the test (30%).
- Skipping the entry test. Even where it isn’t in the merit, you need 50% to qualify.
