Waiting for your PIEAS outcome? This guide explains exactly where to check results, how the merit formula works, what each PIEAS merit list round means, and the actions you should take to secure (or upgrade) your seat.

PIEAS announces results and merit inside your admissions portal account. You’ll first see your test score/status, then a merit number once aggregates are compiled. Admission offers (1st, 2nd, 3rd lists, etc.) also appear on your dashboard, with strict payment and reporting deadlines.

Use this PIEAS admission guide to learn more about the admission process and steps involved.

PIEAS uses an aggregate weighted roughly as: Entry Test 60% + HSSC 25% + SSC 15%.

Tip: If PIEAS allows multiple test sittings in the year, they typically consider your best attempt for merit.

• Seats are filled by program and category (e.g., regular merit, self-finance/USP if offered, special where applicable).
• Your preference order (EE, ME, CS, etc.) matters—offers are made to the highest available choice your merit can secure.
• Keep preferences realistic (mix ambitious + safe options) to improve the chance of an early offer.

• Wait for next PIEAS merit lists: Many candidates get offers in later rounds due to withdrawals.
• Consider other programs: Add safer choices (where allowed).
• Self-finance/USP: If available, it’s a parallel track with higher fee but fewer seats.
• Re-apply stronger: If policy permits multiple sittings, improve your test score; ensure HSSC equivalence (O/A Levels) is in place early.

Your PIEAS journey doesn’t end with the test, it’s won on the portal. Log in on result days, note your merit number, and act fast when offers arrive. Understand the 60/25/15 formula, rank preferences strategically, keep documents/equivalence ready, and never miss a deadline. With smart tracking (and a little patience for upgrades), you’ll turn a promising merit position on the PIEAS merit list into a confirmed seat.
