If you’re aiming for Mehran University of Engineering & Technology (MUET) admission this year, your first milestone is the MUET Pre-Admission Test. This guide gives you a clean breakdown of the test format, subject-wise syllabus for each stream (Pre-Engineering / ICS / Pre-Medical), a question distribution & marking snapshot, and a practical prep plan with weekly targets and exam-day tips.

• Mode: Computer-based MCQs (on campus / designated centers)
• Duration and Size: ~100 minutes, ~100 MCQs
• Negative marking: No
• Qualifying threshold: Typically a minimum qualifying percentage is notified each year (higher scores rank better on merit, simply meeting the threshold does not guarantee admission)
• Streams offered:
  
  • Pre-Engineering: Math, Physics, Chemistry, English
  • ICS (General Science): English, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry
  • Pre-Medical: English, Biology, Physics, Chemistry (if applicable in the current cycle/program)

Tip: MUET computes admission merit using academics + test score (weightages issued each year). Prepare across all sections of your stream.

Pre-Engineering (Math, Physics, Chemistry, English)

ICS / General Science (English, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry)

Pre-Medical* (English, Biology, Physics, Chemistry) *if offered

• Math: Quadratics & Functions, Trig identities, Matrices/Determinants, Vectors, Limits/Derivatives, Probability
• Physics: Kinematics/Dynamics, Electricity (DC circuits), Magnetism, Waves & Optics, Modern Physics basics
• Chemistry: Bonding/Periodic Trends, Equilibrium/Acids-Bases, Electrochemistry, Thermochemistry, Core Organics
• CS (ICS): Logic gates & number systems, Algorithms/Flowcharts, Programming constructs, DB/OS/Networking basics
• Biology (Pre-Med): Cell & Physiology systems, Genetics/Bioenergetics, Ecology high-yield definitions

Use past MCQs to confirm weightage; revise definitions, units, graphs, standard results.

• Block 1 (40 min): Do concept revision, then attempt 15 topic MCQs.
• Block 2 (40 min): Run a sectional drill (for example, Physics numericals or CS logic problems).
• Block 3 (40 min): Attempt a mixed set of 25–30 MCQs under time, then add 10 English MCQs.
• 5-minute rule: If a question stalls you for more than five minutes, mark it and move on; return later.
• Error log: Record every mistake by topic and reason (concept gap, formula, haste) and re-attempt weekly.
• Guessing strategy: Since there’s no negative marking, attempt every question and eliminate options systematically.

Last Week:

• 2–3 full mocks; mirror real timing
• Sleep routine = exam timing
• Memorize quick sheets (formulas, constants, definitions)

Exam-Day:

• Bring: Admit slip, original ID, stationery as instructed
• Timing: Reach early; read section instructions carefully
• Pacing: ~60–70 sec/question; flag tough items, return later
• Sanity checks: Units, sign, order-of-magnitude, option elimination

Cracking the MUET entry test is about syllabus coverage + timed practice + smart review. Map your program's topics, follow the weekly plan, and drill with full-length mocks. Keep an error log, revise formulas daily, and enter the exam with a clear pacing strategy. With a disciplined approach, you’ll convert your preparation into a high test score—and a stronger position on the MUET merit list.

What is the entry test criteria for Mehran University?
MUET requires a computer-based pre-admission test (MCQs). Eligibility is typically 60%+ in HSSC (for B.E./B.Arch/B.CRP; 50%+ for B.E. Tech where offered). Final merit uses an aggregate of academics and test score.

How do I prepare for an entry test?
Revise F.Sc./ICS core chapters, practice timed MCQs daily, take 2–3 full mocks, keep an error log, and memorize key formulas/definitions. Focus on English + your stream’s three technical subjects. Access free resources provided by Maqsad, including ECAT practice tests.

What is the admission process for MUET?
Apply online, upload documents, pay the fee, sit the MUET pre-admission test, track provisional merit → interview call list → final merit list, then pay first-semester dues to confirm your seat.

What are passing marks in Mehran University?
The qualifying threshold is announced each cycle (often around 40% on the entry test). Meeting the pass mark doesn’t guarantee admission; higher aggregate wins seats.

What is the rank of MUET in Pakistan?
MUET is commonly listed among Pakistan’s top public engineering universities. Check the latest HEC/QS tables for the current year’s exact position.

What is the highest score on the MUET?
The test is typically 100 MCQs (≈100 marks). The theoretical maximum is 100%; actual top scores vary by session and aren’t always publicly disclosed.
