While UET ECAT is required for engineering admissions in Punjab, students aiming for NUST should also consider NET-3, the final chance to improve scores for NUST admissions.

• NET-3 is the final chance to improve scores before admissions.
• Both ECAT and NET assess Mathematics, Physics, and English, making preparation somewhat similar.
• Key difference: ECAT is MCQ-based with negative marking, while NET includes conceptual & numerical questions.
• Timing: NET-3 happens after ECAT, allowing students to adjust their study plans accordingly.
• For those applying to both NUST and UET, balancing ECAT & NET-3 preparation is key.
