After the entry test and interview phase, Indus University (IU) finalizes admissions through a transparent merit-based system. Students are ranked on the basis of their academic performance and test results, and admission offers are announced in the form of official merit lists.

• IU combines Intermediate marks and Entry Test scores to calculate merit.
• A common formula is 50% Intermediate + 50% Entry Test, though some programs may adjust weightage slightly (e.g., 60/40).
• Interviews may carry weight in programs like Design or Health Sciences, but for most programs, academics and test scores dominate.

Use this Indus University Merit Calculator to see where you stand:

• Merit lists are released on the official IU website (Admissions section) and on campus notice boards.
• Students can check results by searching their name or application ID in the list.
• SMS/Email notifications may also be sent, but the official merit list is the primary source.
• Fall 2025 timeline:
  • Entry Test → July 2025
  • 1st Merit List → Within 1–2 weeks after test
  • 2nd & 3rd Merit Lists → Released if seats remain vacant

• Step 1: Fee Payment
  • Selected students must pay the admission fee + first semester fee within the deadline (usually 7 days).
• Step 2: Document Verification
  • Submit original documents (Intermediate certificate, CNIC/B-form, photos, equivalence certificate if A-level).
• Step 3: Enrollment & ID Issuance
  • Once verified, IU issues a student ID and confirms enrollment.
• Step 4: Orientation & Classes
  • New students attend orientation before classes begin (September for Fall, February for Spring intake).

• Engineering Programs: Closing merit often around 60–65% aggregate.
• BSCS / Software Engineering: Competitive, often closing near 65–70%.
• DPT (Physical Therapy): High demand; closing merit often higher (70%+).
• Business & Design Programs: Closing merit closer to the minimum 50%.
• Less competitive BS programs: Sometimes accept all who meet eligibility.

• IU generally issues up to three merit lists:
  • 1st Merit List – Top candidates (equal to available seats).
  • 2nd Merit List – Waitlisted candidates if seats are left.
  • 3rd Merit List – Final chance for vacant seats.

The Indus University Merit List marks the final step in admissions. With a straightforward aggregate formula and multiple merit rounds, IU ensures fairness and transparency in selecting students. Competitive programs like BSCS and DPT close at higher aggregates, while other programs provide broader access.

If your name appears on the merit list, secure your seat promptly by paying fees and verifying documents. With preparation and timely action, you can successfully join Indus University’s next undergraduate batch.
