NTS ICS is for the students of ICS group. NAT-ICS is accepted for admission to Bachelor programs in Engineering and also for computer sciences programs. Many top Engineering and IT Universities like COMSATS, FAST, Institute of Space Technology accept NAT-ICS for admissions to their engineering and CS programs. The result of NAT is valid for ONE YEAR. ENGINEERING & CS MERIT ON NAT-ICS BASIS In most IT universities, which accept NAT-IE, merit closes at 77%. Hence, for better chances of admission, it is advisable to target more than 75 Marks in NAT-ICS. As FAST accepts all those who have more than 75 marks in NTS to their CS Program. Similarly merit in COMSATS for engineering programs (except software engineering) is close to 77% and for CS Programs it is close to 75%. So, it would be safe if you scored more than 77 marks in NAT-ICS.
