Many students opt to become engineers after completing their college degrees. The reason for this could be engineering is a lucrative and beneficial discipline. In Pakistan, so many people are leaning towards this field because it is very vast, and you are at the liberty of choosing the area of your own liking. The most chosen engineering fields in Pakistan include mechanical engineering, computer engineering, aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, and electronic engineering. There are a number of universities that offer these degrees. However, you need to pass an entrance exam first to get into these institutes.
Let’s discuss all the information you need about all the entrance exams held in Pakistan for engineering and how you can prepare for it in complete detail. Stick till the end to get some extra tips to boost your performance in these tests.
Poor preparation can pose a barrier between you and your dreams. Having good preparation for the entrance test is the key to securing admission to the university of your choice. In the entrance exams, your knowledge-based skills, as well as your aptitude, are tested. Also, a person’s intelligence, capacity, and tendencies are strategically measured and evaluated from the questions that are asked. So, you should take this exam seriously as your career and future depend on this.
If you are passionate about this field, you should appear fully prepared for the test. In other words, hard work is what gets you there. But you also need proper guidance and direction to ace this test. But don’t worry because you are at the right place, as we are here to guide you through each step, from registering for the entrance exam to solving the questions that appear in the exam.
The tests taken by all the engineering institutes are designed from the same course books you read for two years in FSC or A levels. So, the students are already familiar with the syllabus. Not all the subjects, however, are included. Students are tested based on four majors, which are
We prepare you for all these four subjects competently and efficiently, so you will be able to seek admission to the institute of your dreams. There are only specific chapters and topics that you should prepare for. The designated universities decide the course outline. We help you cover everything in complete detail and on time.
And among these chapters, some topics are high yield, i.e., they are more critical, and they are more likely to appear in the exam than the low yield topics. Once you figure out which topics will get more marks on the test, you should spend more time and energy on them.
After completing your intermediate, you must be looking for admission to your favorite engineering university. And it won't be shocking if your choice includes the National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST), The Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS), University of engineering and technology (UET), or PAF for aeronautical engineering. These are some of the most renowned and esteemed institutes for engineering in Pakistan. But what most people don’t know is that their options are not limited to these institutes only. Several universities and colleges offer engineering courses, but they are mostly unheard of, unlike some of these famous universities. This section will talk about these universities and the tests they conduct for admission in detail.
NET, the NUST Entrance Test, is held by the National University of Sciences & Technology. It is ranked as one of the best universities in Pakistan, no wonder why everyone wants to study at the NUST. Each field has a different test, and students can take all these tests if they want. But they are allowed to take a specific test twice only.
NUST entrance test is held in three series during different times of the year. In the past year, the first series was held on 14 November 2021. The remaining two series will take place in 2022. Series-II is likely to be held in Feb-March 2022. The series-III will be held between May-June 2022.
You are allowed to take two of these series of tests. We advise you to take both opportunities to improve your test-taking skills. Getting acquainted with the test format will significantly benefit your score.
The weightage of each test varies, but mostly matric marks, FSC marks, and entry test marks contribute to the total aggregate.
I. Engineering and computer sciences:
II. Social Sciences / Business studies:
III. Architecture and design:
IV. Natural Sciences (BS physics, BS chemistry, BS mathematics):
For the engineering test, the test is a bit different. It is composed of five different sections, each carrying different marks:
The total multiple-choice questions are 200. And the time you are given to solve this paper is three hours.
There are three campuses of NUST that take the NET exam. These are Karachi, Islamabad, and Quetta campuses, and each employs a different medium for taking the test. For the Islamabad campus, the test is computer-based. For Karachi and Islamabad, it is paper-based.
The timing for Islamabad’s computer-based test is:
In the Morning 9:00 to 12: 00
In the Evening 14: 00 to 17: 00
You can check further details of about NUST entry test preparation here.
TopGrade.pk offers online preparation for ECAT. UET conducts engineering Colleges' admission tests (ECAT), but few other institutes conduct this test. UET also has affiliated institutes that accept this admission test. These are COMSATS Islamabad campus, University of engineering and technology Balochistan, and CECOS University of information technology and emerging science Peshawar.
Some of the private, government, and semi-government universities has made ECAT a mandatory requirement for granting admission in engineering sectors:

For foreigners, a copy of students’ or their parents’ resident visas and an employment certificate (which must be issued by the Embassy of Pakistan) are required.
The test is composed of multiple-choice questions only. Each MCQ carries four marks. BUT there is a negative marking. – 1 will be deducted from the total score if you get one question wrong. The subjects from which the exam is designed are English, Maths, Physics, and Chemistry of intermediate. Each section carries a different weightage, which means the number of questions varies from section to section.
The pattern is given below:
As evident from the distribution of marks, physics, chemistry, and math are equally important, while English contributes the smallest percentage to the total. The total aggregate on which your admission is formed by adding marks from two categories, i.e., intermediate marks and entry test marks.
PIEAS is considered one of the best engineering universities in Pakistan. It takes an entrance exam for admission in various engineering fields such as chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer sciences and, metallurgy, and material engineering. The entrance test usually takes place in August, but you have to register almost two months before the test.
The test is comprised of a total of hundred multiple-choice questions. Each question has a score of 3. But like other engineering entrance test exams, PIEAS also has a negative marking policy. A score of – 1 is deducted if you answer a question wrong, but if you leave it un-attempted, you get a zero instead. The time allowed to attempt these questions is three hours. We offer full course for PIEAS entry test preparation online.
The pattern of this test is nearly similar to ECAT. The only difference is the distribution of marks. The subjects, however, are the same, i.e., Physics, Chemistry, Maths and, English. The number of questions from each part is:
You can secure admission in PIEAS based on either your FSC or equivalent score or your SAT score.
For FSC students:
For SAT scores:
You need at least 60 % marks in both FSC /A level or its equivalent and matric/ O level or its equivalent to apply to PIEAS. The matriculation should be in sciences subjects, while FSC should be in Pre-engineering. If you have done FSC pre-medical, you can still apply after taking the extra math exam. If you are waiting for your part 2 results, you are still eligible to apply.

In PAF, Aeronautical engineering is a dream of all pre-engineering students. It is a fascinating field; you get to design, construct and test aircraft for the Pakistani army. Most people want to join this institute and this field because they are passionate patriots and want to serve their country in one way or another. Unlike some restricted areas in the army, people of both genders can apply.
The requirements are slightly different from other civil sectors and are a bit stricter.
There are specific criteria that should be met for applying. You are not permitted to apply if:
The PAF entrance test is not entirely based on MCQ. There are academic, verbal, and non-verbal parts too. The multiple-choice questions are based on physics, math, English, and intelligence-based questions. Their time and marks distribution is as follows:
Some students prefer PUCIT over UET Lahore because it is an excellent institute, and many international projects are being taken there right now. Moreover, it has produced excellent graduates over the years, which depicts the quality of education there. The test is conducted for granting admission in Bachelors of Information technology, Bachelors of computer sciences, and some masters and Ph.D. programs. But there is only one engineering course offered in PUCIT currently, namely BS honors in Software engineering.
Here is good news for you, there is no negative marking in this test. The duration of the test is one hour. The questions in the test are based on your knowledge in English, Physics, analytical reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and general knowledge. We advise you to solve past papers that are available on the official website of Punjab University. This gives you some idea how the test is going to be like. You can also join our course in preparation for the engineering entrance exam for PUCIT.
For undergraduate programs, which in this case is engineering, the final aggregate is the sum of entrance exam results and academic results.
The BS programs offer admission in the fall only, so the test usually takes place in the month of August. But the schedule for 2022 is not confirmed yet. It will be updated on our website when it is confirmed. The venue for the test is Punjab university's exam centres, BISE Lahore hall, and other college campuses.
The test usually takes place in two shifts but only once a year. It is crucial that you don't miss this opportunity or else you will have to wait another year. You must bring original documents (CNIC, matric result, FSC result) on the day of the test; otherwise, you won’t be entertained.
Several universities accept the National Aptitude Test for pre-engineering for admission in the engineering department in NTS (national testing system) associated universities, such as FAST and Comsats. So many other institutes had also made it mandatory to pass NAT tests for admission in various fields, including engineering.
The subjects that are included in NAT pre-engineering exams are Physics, Maths, and Chemistry. But three other parameters are also tested, i.e., your quantitative skills, analytical skills, verbal skills.
The total number of multiple-choice questions is 90. The English section is also be called as verbal skills section. The total number of questions in this part is 20, which means it almost makes up 22 % of the test. These multiple-choice questions are based on these five parts:
The quantitative part of the exam, which contains 20 questions, is comprised of:
The analytical part, which also contains 20 questions, is comprised of:
The “subjects” area (physics, chemistry, math) contains a total of 30 MCQ, and it is comprised of:
To help students prepare for this test, TopGrade.pk has launched a course for it separately. You can join by paying a minimum fee and preparing in time for the test.
The Pakistani ed tech platform offers various benefits over the traditional system of learning. We live in the era of technology; we believe in inculcating these newer aspects in our teaching system. Hence our entire platform is online, and we have been helping students get admission to their desired institutes for many years.
There are various advantages of an online learning system over classroom-based learning. In this section, we are going to discuss about them in detail.
The superiority of the online system is in the fact that it is the most accessible form of getting an education. A person does not have to think of staying far away from their homes to complete their education. These are the things of the past. Now the whole world's amenities are just one click away, thanks to the internet. You are no longer deprived of your right to seek education due to these old reasons.
Many prominent institutes have started teaching online over the few years. The students also prefer this way over the other. The easy accessibility also means that you can learn at any place and at any time, according to your own pace.
Two studies back up this statement. A study was conducted in California between two groups of students, one group learned online and the other stuck to the traditional way. It was later proven that the former class showed more engagement with the teachers than the second because they were less intimidated about asking questions from their teachers.
In an online system, you are free to learn from the comfort of any place. It could be your bedroom or your TV lounge sofa. The point is, you are not bound to sit at a single spot for extended periods of time under the supervision of your teachers. You are free to do whatever you want while studying simultaneously. This multitasking gives the online system a plus point.
Online courses, particularly those offered here at TopGrade.pk, save you a lot of money. Firstly, you don't have to give us a significant sum of money to join a course. Most of the time, the courses are very affordable for every class. The cherry on top is that you save money you spend traveling to and from your educational institute. In the case of a very distant area, you are also spared the trouble of living in a hostel.
The schedule for physical classes is very strict. You are bound to reach a particular spot in time and stay there for the rest of the day. But it is not the case in online classes. In the case of online classes, your schedule is set, keeping in mind your availability and ease. You can even study at night time. The 24/7 availability of lectures is quite frankly very irresistible.
TopGrade.pk has been serving students via their online platform for so many years. We believe in providing our students with the best. Our app has a vast following, and currently, hundreds of students are enrolled in our courses. We help the students who passed the intermediate get admissions to the university of their choice by best preparing them for the entry tests. A number of our past students are now very successful engineers. If you want to make your engineering dream come true, you should join our platform because we offer:
