These universities have a calculator but no official program-wise closing merit online yet, so we show no merit list for them: Air University aggregate calculator, Bahria aggregate calculator, COMSATS aggregate calculator, FAST aggregate calculator, GIKI aggregate calculator, IIUI aggregate calculator, ITU aggregate calculator, NED aggregate calculator, NUST aggregate calculator, UAF aggregate calculator, UET Peshawar aggregate calculator.
How did merit move this year? Our merit data report 2026 sums up every university in one page, with the biggest rises and drops.
How to use last year's closing merit
If your aggregate is above a program's closing merit, you would have been admitted last year. Within about 1.5 points either side is borderline, because merit moves a little every year. Enter your aggregate in the merit predictor to see every program at once, or work it out first with the right aggregate calculator.

Frequently asked questions
What is closing merit?
The aggregate of the last candidate admitted to a program in a given merit list. If you are above it, you would have been admitted in that list.
Which merit list should I compare with?
The final list of last year for the same program, campus, shift and quota. Earlier lists close higher because merit drops as seats are re-allotted.
Why is there no NUST, FAST or NED merit list here?
They do not publish official program-wise closing merits online. We do not use third-party estimates, so those universities have calculators only.
Can I download the merit data?
Yes. Every table is available as JSON on our open data page under CC BY 4.0.
