Admissions
NUST has its own entry test called NET, which is considered as the well-organized, yet an extremely competitive testing system. There are three NET’s held throughout the year in December, March and June. You can appear in all three of them if you wish to improve your score because the best is considered. The computer-based exam is held in Islamabad only, and if you live in Karachi or Quetta, where the other tests are conducted, you’ll have to give the paper-based NET-3 in June. Upon announcement of the results students are given merit positions that show them where they stand. NUST has a very low acceptance rate as compared and a merit position in the top 700 ensures admission in any faculty you like. Usually, the top 3500 merit positions are selected for admission, the rest are placed in waiting or rejected.
