Understanding NUST Merit Lists
NUST releases multiple merit lists during each admission cycle, typically 6-8 lists. The 1st merit list has the highest cutoffs, with subsequent lists having progressively lower requirements as seats are filled.
Closing Aggregate
The minimum aggregate percentage of the last candidate admitted in a merit list. Higher closing aggregates indicate more competitive programs.
Closing Position
The merit position of the last admitted candidate. This helps understand how many students were ahead of the cutoff.
Note: Historical data is provided for reference only. Actual cutoffs vary each year based on applicant pool, seat availability, and other factors. Always verify with official NUST sources.
