About the NUST NET Exam
The NUST Entry Test (NET) is the primary route into undergraduate Engineering and Computing programmes at the National University of Sciences and Technology. For the NET-Engineering paper used by Engineering and Computing applicants, official 2026 weightings are Mathematics 50%, Physics 30%, and English 20%. Questions are four-option MCQs; the English section follows an SAT-style pattern, and the bank is built from HSSC / equivalent textbooks. Candidates may attempt more than one series in a session year, with only one attempt per discipline in any single series, and the system picks the best NET score for merit. Computer-based testing runs at Islamabad and Quetta; paper-based testing runs at Karachi and Gilgit. The application processing fee for Pakistani / dual-nationality candidates is Rs. 5,000 per exam (non-refundable and valid only for the paid series). Absolute question count and duration are not published on the current official pages, so this practice set emphasises the published weightings rather than inventing a fixed paper length.
