MERIT ON NAT-IGS BASIS

BEST STRATEGY for Securing Admission
As NTS is conducted frequently, it is advisable to appear in NTS at least 3 times, to improve your marks. Even if you are a student with 90% marks, it is advised to appear at least twice in NTS so that you can score maximum.
So, it would be the best strategy to appear in NTS in December/January for the first time when you are in FSc Part-II so that you have enough time to prepare again if you cannot score the required marks and have the time limit to appear in NTS at least two more times before admission deadlines of major universities.
