Weighted admission score calculator
A weighted admission score is a single figure combining your high school GPA, GAT (Qudrat) and SAAT (Tahsili) results using weights each university sets per track. There is no single national formula: one track may use 30% GPA, 30% GAT and 40% SAAT while another uses 50% GAT and 50% SAAT. Pick your university below to calculate with its official formula, or use the general calculator if you already know your weights.
General calculator
Use this only if you already know your formula's weights — it is not tied to any specific university. For an officially sourced formula, open your university's page below.
Formula used: 30% High school GPA (%) + 30% GAT (General Aptitude Test) + 40% SAAT (Achievement test)
Optional — fill it to get the GAT score you need.
How it is calculated
Each score is multiplied by its weight and the products are summed. With a 30/30/40 formula, a 95 GPA, 85 GAT and 90 SAAT give (0.3×95) + (0.3×85) + (0.4×90) = 90%. The result breaks out each component's contribution separately, so you can see where you gain and where you lose rather than reading one opaque number.
The question that actually matters: what GAT score do I need?
Most applicants already know their GPA and SAAT and want the GAT score that reaches a specific weighted target. The tool inverts the formula and computes it directly, and tells you plainly when the target is already met by your other inputs, or is not reachable at all whatever your GAT result.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a weighted admission score?
Multiply each result by its published weight and add them: (GPA weight × GPA) + (GAT weight × GAT) + (SAAT weight × SAAT). The calculator here does this using the formula of the university you select, and shows you its source.
Does the same formula apply at every university?
No. Weights differ between universities, between tracks and colleges within one university, and sometimes between male and female applicants. That is why we list formulas separately rather than offering one generic equation.
What if I have not taken the SAAT?
If SAAT carries weight in your formula, no final score can be computed without it. You can try different values to see how much SAAT moves your result — a useful exercise for setting priorities.
What is STEP and when does it count?
STEP is the Qiyas English proficiency test. It does not appear in most formulas, but some programmes — languages colleges in particular — give it an explicit weight. If your formula includes it, a STEP field appears in the calculator.
Is a good weighted score enough to be admitted?
No. The score sets your competitive rank, but admission depends on available seats and the actual cut-off in your application year, which moves annually. Check previous years' cut-offs on the university's own site.
Why does my result differ from the university's calculator?
Common causes: a different track or college selected, a formula updated in a newer admission guide, or different rounding. We always display the formula and source used — compare them against the university's calculator, and treat the official source as authoritative.
Is the result rounded?
The calculation runs at full precision with no rounding at any intermediate step; rounding happens only for display. This prevents small errors accumulating into a changed final decimal.
