NAT ICS (Computer Sc) 2024

ENGINEERING & CS MERIT ON NAT-ICS BASIS

In most IT universities, which accept NAT-IE, merit closes at 77%. Hence, for better chances of admission, it is advisable to target more than 75 Marks in NAT-ICS.

As FAST accepts all those who have more than 75 marks in NTS to their CS Program. Similarly merit in COMSATS for engineering programs (except software engineering) is close to 77% and for CS Programs it is close to 75%. 

So, it would be safe if you scored more than 77 marks in NAT-ICS.

BEST STRATEGY for Securing Admission

As NTS is conducted frequently, so it is advisable to appear in NTS at least 3 times, to improve your marks. Even if you are a student with 90% marks, it is advised to appear at least twice in NTS so that you can sore maximum.

So, it would be the best strategy to appear in NTS in December/January for the first time when you are in FSc Part-II so that you have enough time to prepare again if you cannot score the required marks and have the time limit to appear in NTS at least two more times before admission deadlines of major universities.
