University of Sindh Prospectus 2026: CPN = SSC 10% + HSC (adjusted marks) 30% + Pre-Entry Test 60%. The test is MCQs from your HSC subjects. The prospectus sets the qualifying mark at 30% (33% for BE Electronic / Telecommunication), but the Admissions 2027 advert asks for 40%. LLB needs HEC’s LAT with 50% instead. Improvers and late passers lose 5 marks per year, up to 25.
Calculate your Sindh University CPN
Free · instant · no loginFrom the University of Sindh Prospectus 2026. Deductions are taken from your HSC marks to give the "adjusted marks" the university uses. LLB uses HEC’s LAT instead of the Pre-Entry Test (see below).
Sindh University Merit Formula (CPN): 10% + 30% + 60%
| Component | Bachelor | Master (BS 3rd year) | LLM |
|---|---|---|---|
| S.S.C. | 10% | 20% | 5% |
| H.S.C. (adjusted marks) | 30% | 30% | 5% |
| Bachelor degree (adjusted) | — | 50% | 30% |
| Pre-Entry Test / Aptitude test | 60% | — | 60% |
This is the weightage table in the University of Sindh Prospectus 2026, unchanged from 2025. If you don’t qualify the Pre-Entry Test, you aren’t considered for any discipline.
Worked Example
| Component | Marks | Percentage | Weight | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-Entry Test | 65 / 100 | 65.00% | 60% | 39.00 |
| HSC | 825 / 1100 | 75.00% | 30% | 22.50 |
| SSC | 880 / 1100 | 80.00% | 10% | 8.00 |
| CPN | — | — | — | 69.50 |
If the same student had improved their HSC once (5 marks deducted), HSC becomes 820/1100 = 74.55%, and the CPN drops to 69.36.
Pre-Entry Test: Pass Marks and Subjects
| Programme | Test | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| All Bachelor programmes (BS, BBA, B.Ed, Pharm-D, DPT ...) | University of Sindh Pre-Entry Test | Prospectus: 30%; Admissions 2027 advert: 40% |
| BE Electronic / BE Telecommunication | Pre-Entry Test + aptitude test | 33% (PEC policy) |
| LLB (Honours) | HEC Law Admission Test (LAT) | 50% |
| LLM (Evening) | Pre-Entry Test (English 25%, GK 15%, Law 60%) | 40% |
The Bachelor test is MCQ-based, drawn from HSC subjects: Commerce, English, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Physics, Islamic Studies, Pakistan Studies and General Knowledge. Fine Arts, Communication Design, Textile Design, Art History and Health & Physical Education also have an aptitude or physical test. The prospectus doesn’t say how the LAT score is weighted for LLB merit. Some calculators assume it replaces the 60% test share, so confirm with the Directorate of Admissions.
Because the two documents differ, aim for at least 40%, the figure in the latest (2027) advertisement.
Improver and Gap-Year Deductions
| Situation | Deduction (from total marks) |
|---|---|
| Appeared a second time in HSC to improve division / grade | 5 marks |
| Each extra year (or part) taken to pass HSC beyond the minimum period after Matric | 5 marks per year |
| Pre-requisite exam not passed in the preceding year | 5 marks per year |
| Maximum deduction | 25 marks |
The deductions only build the "adjusted" merit list. They don’t change your actual division or grade.

- Forgetting the deductions. Improvers and late passers lose 5 marks per year, up to 25.
- Aiming for only 30% in the test. The 2027 advertisement asks for 40%.
- Using the Bachelor formula for BS 3rd year. Master / 3rd-year admission uses 20% SSC + 30% HSC + 50% Bachelor, with no test.
- Coming from another board without an eligibility certificate. Boards other than Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas need one.
