FSc Aggregate

FSc aggregate is the total marks earned across all subjects in both years of the Pakistan Higher Secondary (HSSC) FSc programme.

FSc Aggregate is the combined Part 1 + Part 2 total used to certify completion of the Higher Secondary Certificate (Faculty of Science) in Pakistan. The full marks are typically 1100 — Part 1 carries 550 and Part 2 carries 550, distributed across subjects.

FSc Pre-Medical and FSc Pre-Engineering have slightly different subject mixes (Biology vs Mathematics) but both follow the 1100-mark structure. Computer Science FSc replaces Biology with Computer Science.

For university admission, the FSc aggregate is converted to a percentage:

FSc % = (Obtained Marks ÷ 1100) × 100

Most Pakistani professional universities apply a weighted admission formula that combines Matric (often 10%), FSc (often 40%), and the entrance test such as MDCAT or ECAT (often 50%). The exact weights vary by university and year — always consult the current prospectus before assuming.

A "first-class" FSc result is conventionally 60% or above; "A grade" is 70% or above; "A+ grade" is 80% or above. These thresholds are inherited from Pakistan's general grading system rather than published by the boards as such.

Worked example

A Pre-Medical student scoring 988/1100 has FSc % = (988 ÷ 1100) × 100 = 89.82%, which is an A+ result and clears the 87% cut-off for most Punjab medical college admissions in 2024.
