Background: HSSC Pre-Engineering / Pre-Medical* / ICS / equivalent.
For: all Engineering or Computing programmes. Such candidates can also opt for BS Bioinformatics, BS Mathematics, BS Physics, BS Chemistry and BS Food Science & Technology without an additional registration fee or a separate NET.
Candidates with Pre-Engineering + Additional Biology, or Pre-Medical + Additional Mathematics (or equivalent), applying for Engineering or Computing programmes appear in the NET-Engineering paper. Candidates with HSSC/equivalent having Mathematics as a major subject applying for Computing programmes also appear in NET-Engineering.
* Pre-Medical candidates: applying for Engineering programmes without the additional maths exam, you appear in NET-Engineering — but must clear NUST's condensed 8-week Mathematics course before admission (register at connected.nust.edu.pk). Applying for Computing programmes without additional maths, you also appear in the NET-Engineering paper.
