Q.
How is merit calculated? Kindly let
me know the split for calculating %age weightage (aggregate).
Marks obtained in matriculation
examination: 10%
Marks obtained in intermediate examination: 40%
Marks scored in NTS:
50%
The example would further elaborate
the working:
Suppose a student secures:
1)
In SSC (Matriculation ) 630/1050
2)
IN HSSC (Intermediate) 660/1100
3)
In NTS he secures 60 marks
10% of marks obtained in SSC are
630/1050 x 10 = 05.74
40% of marks obtained in HSSC are 660/1100X40 = 24.00
50% of marks obtained in NTS test
are 60/2
=30.00
The %age weight age (aggregate)
is the sum of three =59.74.
This is how you can calculate your
%age weight age (aggregate)
Q.
When do the classes start in Fall
and in Spring?
The classes for Fall Semester normally
