I have got a really bad result in my Alevel's final. I have 3 C's in my As-level which i had hoped to maintain in my Alevels but now i have got 3 D's in my Alevel. I feel very much depressed. I was quite sure i could atleast maintain 2 of the 3 subjects but it all ended with 3 D's. I had Physics, Chemistry and Maths.

What i wanted to know if i'm still eligible to get admissions in Nust or Fast as they require 60% or above in equivilance of alevels i guess. Please i am not looking to repeat my full Alevels now. That would be too much frustrating since i would have to give all 3 full subjects.

My Nust test is on 20th August and i am on the waiting list for Fast. May Allah help me. So can someone please tell me if i can still get into Nust or Fast with these grades as i have heard these University's ask for your Alevels equvilance and that equvilance is given by combining your olevels equvilance which should be above 60% (combined).

Is that true? Since i had 79% equvilance of my olevels, how much would i end up for my alevels equivlace then?
Please some help me. In alot of pressure here. =(

Hello!
I think they require at least a "C" in A levels but your total equivalence is gonna be higher than 70% which is good.

I calculated your equivalence for Olevels + Alevels and it came to be equal to = 73%
So you don't have to worry!

Here is how I calculated your Equivalence.

Your O levels was 79% ...so to convert that into marks 0.79*900 = 711
So your O levels marks are 711/900 (79%)

Now to calculate your A level marks you got 3 D's (D= 55 marks in IBCC)
Calculation according to IBCC is (55*3)/300 * 200 that equals to 110/200 marks.
Now you total equivalence will be equal to : (O levels) + (Alevels) : (711/900) + (110/200)
This equals to 821/1100 marks which is equal to 75%

Since IBCC will deduct 2% so your final percentage for HSSC will be 73%
and yes I think you will be eligible for NUST. ::p
Good luck!

A) GCE ‘A’ Level and Equivalent:

GCE ‘O’ and ‘A’ level are considered equivalent to Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC/Intermediate) subject to meeting the specified requirement for various stream/groups as under:

i) Pre-Medical Group: Eight/five ‘O’ level subjects (including English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology) and three ‘A’ levels (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) with minimum E Grade.

ii) Pre-Engineering Group: Eight/five ‘O’ level subjects (including English, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics Biology/Computer Studies) and three ‘A’ level subjects (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) with minimum E Grade.

iii) General Science Group: Eight/five ‘O’ level subjects with three ‘A’ level subjects

a- All Pakistani nationals appearing for examinations from Pakistan shall have to pass Urdu, Islamiyat, Pakistan Studies and Mathematics along with other required subjects to qualify for equivalence.

It is better that you don't repeat from Pakistan.

But if you provide them proof that you studied abroad then I think you will not need those subjects.
Who knows, just call them and ask!
