What is the GIKI aggregate?
The GIKI aggregate is the merit percentage that Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute uses to rank applicants for BS Engineering and Computing programs. Unlike most Pakistani engineering universities, GIKI does not include FSc marks in its formula. Only two things count: your Matric result and your score in the GIKI entry test.
The official formula
GIKI uses 15 percent from Matric and 85 percent from the entry test. The formula is: aggregate = (Matric percent times 0.15) + (entry test percent times 0.85). The entry test is out of 200 marks, so your test percent is your score divided by 200 then multiplied by 100.
A worked example
A student scores 990 out of 1100 in Matric, which is 90 percent and contributes 13.5 aggregate points. In the GIKI test the same student scores 160 out of 200, which is 80 percent and contributes 68 points. The total aggregate is 13.5 plus 68, which equals 81.5 percent.
Why the entry test dominates
The entry test carries 85 percent of the aggregate, which is the highest test weighting among major Pakistani engineering universities. FSc marks play no role at all. This means a student with average board results can still secure a high merit position with a strong test performance. One mark out of 200 in the test adds 0.425 aggregate points. Ten marks add 4.25 points, which is a large change on a competitive merit list.
The GIKI entry test format
The test has 80 multiple choice questions and runs for 120 minutes. Questions cover Mathematics with 30 MCQs, Physics with 30 MCQs, and English with 20 MCQs. The total is out of 200 marks. There is no negative marking, so you can attempt every question without penalty for a wrong answer. Shortlisted candidates are called for an interview before final admission is confirmed.
