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:
DUET Merit Formula:
CPN = (10% Matric Marks) + (30% Intermediate Marks) + (60% Entry Test Marks)
Example:
Matric = 85%, Intermediate = 75%, Entry Test = 70%
CPN = (0.10 × 85) + (0.30 × 75) + (0.60 × 70) = 73%
The entry test score is most important (60%), so good preparation can boost your merit ranking
