After the entry test, Dawood University of Engineering & Technology (DUET) prepares merit lists to finalize undergraduate admissions. Since the entry test carries 60% weightage in the aggregate formula, results play a crucial role in deciding admission. This guide explains how merit is calculated, how to check results, seat allocation, and next steps for selected candidates.

DUET uses a Composite Percentage Number (CPN) system:

The entry test score is most important (60%), so good preparation can boost your merit ranking

• Visit the official DUET Admission Portal: admissions.duet.edu.pk
• Go to Merit List / Results section
• Select your program and category (Urban, Rural, AJK, Self-Finance, etc.)
• Download the PDF list or search by your Application ID / Name
• You can also log in to your admission account to see your updated status (Selected / Waiting / Not Selected).

• First Merit List: Top candidates allocated seats based on preferences.
• ‍Second Merit List: Released if seats remain after first round.
• ‍Self-Finance Merit List: For candidates applying under self-finance quota.
• ‍Closing Aggregates (2025 Trends):
  • BS AI: ~59%
  • BE Computer Systems: ~62%
  • BE Electronics: ~53%
• Many programs closed around 50% CPN (minimum threshold).

If your name does not appear in the first list, wait for the second list — many students upgrade or withdraw, opening seats.

1. Download Admission Letter from the portal.
2. Pay Fees (Admission + 1st Semester Tuition).
3. Submit Documents (Originals + Attested Copies: Matric, Inter, CNIC, Domicile).

The DUET merit list 2025 is the final checkpoint for admission. With a transparent 10-30-60 formula, most programs closed near 50% CPN, while computing fields required higher scores. If your name appears in the list, confirm admission quickly by paying dues and submitting documents.
