UET Peshawar’s 2026-27 prospectus sets engineering merit at 10% SSC + 40% Intermediate Part-I + 50% ETEA entrance test. BS Computer Science (all specialisations) and BS Mathematics have no entry test: merit is 40% SSC + 60% Part-I. Part-I marks are adjusted: −10 for each extra attempt (up to −20), −10 for Maths as an additional subject, and +20 for Hafiz-e-Quran.
Calculate your UET Peshawar merit
Free · instant · no loginPre-Engineering, ICS and DAE applicants: ETEA is out of 100. Pre-Medical applicants: enter your score out of 65. Each extra attempt at Intermediate costs 10 marks (maximum 20).
What ETEA score do you need?
Set your target merit and we work backwards from your SSC and adjusted Part-I marks to the ETEA score you need.
UET Peshawar Merit Formula 2026-27 by Programme
UET Peshawar’s Undergraduate Prospectus 2026-27 sets these formulas:
| Programme | SSC | Inter Part-I (adjusted) | Entrance test | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BSc Engineering (all disciplines) | 10% | 40% | 50% ETEA | — |
| BS Computer Science (CS, AI, Cyber Security, Data Science, Games, IoT, Robotics) | 40% | 60% | None | — |
| BS Mathematics | 40% | 60% | None | — |
| Bachelor of Architecture | 10% | 40% | 35% ETEA | 15% interview |
| Bachelor of Interior Design | 10% | 40% (HSSC) | None | 30% drawing, 10% creative writing/GK, 10% interview |
UET Peshawar uses your Intermediate Part-I marks, even if you finished Intermediate in 2023 or earlier. DAE applicants use their first- and second-year results. A-Level applicants use their IBCC A(S)-level equivalence. If you took Pre-Medical with additional Maths, your Maths marks replace Biology.
Part-I Marks Adjustment: Attempts, Additional Maths and Hafiz
Before calculating merit, UET Peshawar adjusts your Intermediate marks (clause 6.3):
| Case | Adjustment |
|---|---|
| Each additional attempt to pass or improve Intermediate (Part-I or II) | −10 marks (maximum −20) |
| Mathematics taken as an additional subject | −10 marks |
| Hafiz-e-Quran who qualifies UET’s Hafiz test | +20 marks |
On a 550-mark Part-I, a 10-mark deduction lowers your engineering merit by about 0.73 points, and the Hafiz bonus raises it by about 1.45 points. Eligibility uses your unadjusted marks.
How to Calculate Your UET Peshawar Aggregate
Worked example: engineering
A student scores 950/1100 in SSC, 480/550 in Part-I and 70/100 in ETEA, with no adjustments.
| Component | Marks | Percentage | Weightage | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ETEA | 70 / 100 | 70.00% | 50% | 35.00 |
| Intermediate Part-I | 480 / 550 | 87.27% | 40% | 34.91 |
| SSC | 950 / 1100 | 86.36% | 10% | 8.64 |
| Merit score | — | — | 100% | 78.55% |
Worked example: BS Computer Science
The same SSC and Part-I marks, no test: 86.36% × 0.40 + 87.27% × 0.60 = 34.55 + 52.36 = 86.91%.
Enter either example in the calculator above and you will get the same result.
ETEA Engineering Entrance Test 2026-27
Applicants with a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa or ex-FATA domicile must sit the ETEA engineering entrance test. You get at least two chances each session, and your best result counts. Results are valid for one academic year.
| Paper | Physics | Mathematics | English | Chemistry / Computer Science | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-Engineering, ICS, DAE, B.Tech | 40 | 35 | 15 | 10 | 100 MCQs |
| Pre-Medical | 40 | — | 15 | 10 (Chemistry) | 65 MCQs (counted as 100%) |
Each correct answer carries one mark, and there is no negative marking. Applicants from other provinces can compete for 5 non-subsidised seats in each discipline through ETEA. Overseas and some reserved-seat applicants can use SAT-II (Physics, Chemistry, Maths, minimum 800) or another PEC-accredited public engineering university’s test.
UET Peshawar Eligibility Criteria 2026-27
| Programme | Minimum (unadjusted marks) | Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| BSc Engineering | 60% | Intermediate (Pre-Engineering, Computer Science, or Pre-Medical with the required Maths), DAE or B.Tech |
| BS Computer Science (all specialisations) | 50% | Intermediate or DAE with Maths, or Pre-Medical (plus 6 credit hours of Maths in first year) |
| BS Mathematics | 50% | Intermediate, or DAE with Maths |
| Bachelor of Architecture | 60% | Pre-Engineering or Pre-Medical, or DAE in Architecture/Civil; ETEA required |
| Bachelor of Interior Design | 50% | Intermediate or diploma; aptitude test instead of ETEA |
Computer Science and Architecture admissions need a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa or ex-FATA domicile. Hope certificates are accepted for result-awaited applicants, but if your final marks are lower, you move down the merit list.
UET Peshawar BS Computer Science Seats by Campus
| Campus | Subsidised seats | Non-subsidised seats |
|---|---|---|

| Nowshera | Computer Science 100; Games, IoT, Robotics 25 each | Games, IoT, Robotics 25 each |
| Abbottabad | Computer Science 100 | — |
| Bannu | Computer Science 50, AI 50 | — |
Architecture has 15 subsidised and 30 non-subsidised seats at Peshawar and 45 at Abbottabad. Interior Design has 50 and BS Mathematics 50, both at Peshawar. Non-subsidised (self-finance) seats have separate merit lists.
UET Peshawar Merit Impact: How Much Is Each Mark Worth?
| Improvement | Engineering | Computer Science |
|---|---|---|
| +1 ETEA mark (out of 100) | +0.50 points | — |
| +10 marks in Part-I (out of 550) | +0.73 points | +1.09 points |
| +10 marks in SSC (out of 1100) | +0.09 points | +0.36 points |
For engineering, ETEA decides most of your merit. For Computer Science there is no test, so your Part-I and SSC results decide everything. Avoiding an extra Intermediate attempt (−10) matters there.
How to Improve Your UET Peshawar Merit
- Take ETEA more than once. Your best result counts.
- Focus on Physics and Maths. They are 75 of the 100 ETEA questions.
- Answer every question. There is no negative marking.
- Think twice about improvement exams. Each extra attempt costs 10 marks, even if your marks go up.
- Claim the Hafiz-e-Quran bonus if eligible, by applying for UET’s Hafiz test.
Common UET Peshawar Merit Calculation Mistakes
- Using full FSc marks. UET Peshawar uses Part-I marks for merit.
- Adding a test for Computer Science. BS CS is 40% SSC + 60% Part-I only.
- Dividing a Pre-Medical ETEA score by 100. The Pre-Medical paper is out of 65.
- Using an 800-mark ETEA total. The 2026-27 engineering paper is 100 MCQs.
- Forgetting the adjustments. Extra attempts and additional Maths each cost 10 marks.
