After completing the entry test (NTS NAT) and online application, COMSATS University compiles and announces its merit lists for undergraduate admissions.
These lists determine which students are offered admission to programs such as BBA, BS Accounting & Finance, BS Business Analytics, and others across COMSATS campuses.

In 2025, COMSATS is expected to release merit lists in late July, with final admissions closing by mid-August, ahead of classes commencing in September.
This article breaks down how the merit is calculated, when results are announced, and what you need to do after your name appears on the list.

COMSATS uses a weighted merit formula that combines your academic performance (Matric + Intermediate) with your NTS NAT score.
Each component contributes a specific percentage to your final aggregate, determining your ranking on the merit list.

• Only applicants who meet eligibility (minimum 50% marks + NAT score) are included.
• NAT results are automatically fetched by COMSATS if you applied using the same CNIC.
• The formula ensures a fair evaluation between academic and test-based performance.

Here’s the general merit calculation structure for COMSATS undergraduate business programs (2025):

Once the NAT results are released by NTS, COMSATS compiles and publishes its merit lists online.
Applicants can view their results by visiting the official portal: admissions.comsats.edu.pk.

Here’s the expected schedule for the Fall 2025 business programs:

If your name appears on the merit list, you must complete the following steps to secure your seat:

1. Download Admission Offer Letter from the portal.
2. Deposit the 1st-semester fee (typically Rs. 120,000–130,000) in the designated bank within the given deadline.
3. Upload payment proof on the admission portal.
4. Submit original documents (Matric + Intermediate) to the Admissions Office.

Failure to complete these steps by the due date will result in forfeiture of the offer, and your seat may be given to the next candidate on the waiting list.

After the first list, COMSATS issues 2nd and 3rd merit lists to fill any remaining seats.
Each list has its own fee submission deadline, and notifications are shared through:

• Official website: comsats.edu.pk
• Admission portal: admissions.comsats.edu.pk
• Campus notice boards
• Email/SMS alerts to shortlisted candidates

Campuses like Lahore and Islamabad often close admission after the 2nd list due to high demand, while smaller campuses (Vehari, Sahiwal, Wah) may go up to a 3rd or even final merit list.

• The merit list position depends on total aggregate score. A higher NAT score greatly improves your ranking.
• Waiting candidates from the 1st list are automatically considered for subsequent lists — no re-application needed.
• Students with result-awaiting status must submit final marksheets before confirmation.
• The admission offer is valid only for the session it’s issued (Fall 2025).

The COMSATS University Merit List 2025 process is transparent and fully merit-based. By maintaining a strong academic record and achieving a solid NAT score, you can secure admission to one of Pakistan’s most reputable public-sector universities for business and management studies.

Regularly check COMSATS’ official channels during July–August to stay updated on your merit list status and deadlines.
