📝 Admission & Entry Test
Admission to NED University is highly competitive. Candidates are evaluated on:
- Academic record (Intermediate / A-Level or equivalent)
- Performance in the NED Admission Test
How the Merit is Calculated
A candidate’s Merit Score (MS) is the ultimate deciding factor for his or her placement. It is calculated using a weighted formula that rewards strong performance in the entrance exam:
| Component | Weightage |
| Academic Record (HSC Part I / O-Level / Equivalent) | 40% |
| NED Pre Admission Entry Test | 60% |
Note: For candidates who have already completed their HSC Part II or A-Levels, the university applies specific policy guidelines to ensure their final results are integrated fairly into the merit calculation.
💻 NED Entry Test Format
The Pre Admission Entry Test is a Computer Based test consisting entirely of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). Candidates must demonstrate both speed and accuracy to perform well.
- Total Marks: 100 (1 mark per question)
- Duration: 120 minutes (2 hours)
- Passing Criteria: Minimum 50% score required to qualify for admission
- Negative Marking: No negative marking (attempt all questions)
- Calculators: Only simple, non-programmable calculators are allowed
- Sections: 4 sections, each carrying 25 marks
📘 Subjects Covered
- Pre-Engineering / Computer Science: Typically covers Mathematics, Physics, English, and Chemistry or Computer Science.
- Other Groups: Tailored to the specific subjects of the student’s intermediate background.
Because the entry test accounts for 60% of the total merit, focused preparation is not just recommended — it’s essential.
