FSc subject groups
The calculator works for all Intermediate groups. The subjects and maximums vary by group:
| Group | Subjects | Typical total marks |
|---|---|---|
| FSc Pre-Medical | Urdu, English, Islamiyat, Pakistan Studies, Physics, Chemistry, Biology | 1100 |
| FSc Pre-Engineering | Urdu, English, Islamiyat, Pakistan Studies, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics | 1100 |
| ICS (Computer Science) | Urdu, English, Islamiyat, Pakistan Studies, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or Statistics | 1100 |
| FA (Arts) | Urdu, English, Islamiyat, Pakistan Studies, plus three electives | 800 to 950 |
| I.Com (Commerce) | Urdu, English, Islamiyat, Pakistan Studies, plus commerce subjects | 900 to 1000 |
Standard marks pattern (FSc Pre-Medical)
| Subject | Theory | Practical | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Urdu | 75 | 25 | 100 |
| English | 75 | 25 | 100 |
| Islamiyat (Part 1) | 75 | 25 | 100 |
| Pakistan Studies (Part 1) | 75 | 25 | 100 |
| Physics | 75 | 25 | 100 |
| Chemistry | 75 | 25 | 100 |
| Biology | 75 | 25 | 100 |
| Optional / elective | 75 | 25 | 100 |
| Total | 800 to 1100 |
Some boards include an additional optional subject or have different practical marks. Enter the actual maximum from your mark sheet rather than assuming every subject is out of 100.
BISE grade scale
| Percentage | BISE grade |
|---|---|
| 80% and above | A1 (A+) |
| 70% to 79% | A |
| 60% to 69% | B |
| 50% to 59% | C |
| 40% to 49% | D |
| 33% to 39% | E |
| Below 33% | F (fail) |
This is the long-standing scale, as published for example by BISE Gujranwala, and it is the scale the calculator uses. Some boards have announced revised schemes with more grades and a higher pass mark for recent exams, so check the grade printed on your own result card.
How FSc affects your admission aggregate
FSc is the single most important component in both MDCAT and ECAT aggregates. Under the MDCAT formula it carries 40%, and under the ECAT formula it carries 50%. A student with 90% FSc and 80% MDCAT score has an MDCAT aggregate contribution of 36 points from FSc alone. Improving FSc by 5 percentage points adds 2 full percentage points to the final MDCAT aggregate. No other single component has as much leverage.
How to calculate FSc grade and percentage with this calculator
- Select your BISE board from the dropdown.
- Update subject names to match your mark sheet.
- Enter your marks and the maximum for each subject.
- Add both theory and practical rows for science subjects, or enter the combined mark if your result card shows a single combined figure.
- Read the total marks, percentage, and BISE grade in the result tiles.
When to use the FSc / Intermediate Grade Calculator (Pakistan)
Use it after Part 1 results to track your standing and plan how much you need in Part 2 to reach a target percentage. Use it after Part 2 results to confirm your percentage before the official result card arrives. Use it with predicted scores to find the FSc percentage you need for a target MDCAT or ECAT aggregate. For Matric results, use the Matric Percentage Calculator. For the full admission aggregate, use the Merit Calculator.
Common mistakes when calculating FSc grade and percentage
Calculating Part 1 and Part 2 percentage separately. University admission uses the combined FSc percentage across both years. Calculate the combined result by entering all subjects from both years together. Your final result card shows this combined figure.
Omitting practical marks. Science subjects have theory and practical components. Entering only the theory marks understates both the total obtained and the total maximum, which shifts the percentage. Add practical marks as a separate row or enter the combined figure.
Using 100 as the maximum for every subject. Some subjects, particularly electives and optional subjects, carry different maximums at some boards. Use the actual maximum from your mark sheet.
