FORMULA FOR WORKING OUT THE OVERALL MERIT:

Note: Only science subject (Biology, Chemistry and Physics or Mathematic) will be considered in HSSC result for making District merit list

Example: If a candidate has obtained following marks:
 

                                                                 300/400 or 75.00 %

His/her merit will be calculated as follows:
 

Over all Merit of the candidate  = a+b+c   =  7.65+28.00+37.5  =73.75
All calculations in percentages will be rounded up to two decimal points.

Similarly the merit calculation of A Level/Equivalent candidates will be based on three science subjects (Biology, Chemistry and Physics or Mathematic) according to the IBCC formula given below for final merit calculation.

Example of formula applied for merit calculation of candidates with A level/Equivalent exam:

If a candidate has secured following grades in science subject:

Since the HSSC Pre-Medical examination has 200 marks in each science subject (Biology, Chemistry and Physics or Mathematic) making a maximum total of 600 marks, therefore the acquired and maximum marks of ‘A’ Level candidates will be multiplied by two.
           

Now 40% of 490 marks will be considered for weight age in the total marks for final merit of an ‘A’ Level / Equivalent candidate to be at par with HSC (Pre-Medical) candidate.
