FUNGAT-(FAST, UET, NUST, and GIKI Admission Test)

 

FUNGAT (FAST, UET, NUST, and GIKI Colleges Admission Test) is an MCQ exam that has become compulsory to be taken by candidates who want to be admitted to the top Institutes in Punjab. This entrance test is now mandatory for admission to the undergraduate engineering/technology programs of public/private engineering institutions of the Punjab. 

This test has become compulsory this year, for all the public and private sector engineering institutes of Punjab. FUNGAT is managed and conducted by the engineering universities of Pakistan.

The FUNGAT is for admissions to FAST, UET, NUST, and GIKI Universities. The candidates will appear in a single test only and will stand eligible for admission to all FUNGAT-associated universities in the respective subject group.

 

Why FUNGAT is important for students seeking admission to Universities?

 

The FUNGAT is important for FSC (Pre-Engineering) or ICS students in Pakistan because it is a mandatory requirement to get admission to engineering universities and colleges. The test evaluates students' knowledge in subjects such as Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, and English, which are important for engineering studies. Achieving a good score on the FUNGAT can greatly impact a student's chances of getting admission to a prestigious engineering institute in Pakistan.

 

What is the minimum score for qualifying FUNGAT and does that guarantee admission in any university?

 

The marks required for admission to a specific program at engineering universities in Pakistan can vary from year to year based on factors such as the number of applicants and the overall performance of the applicants. However, it's generally advisable to aim for high marks in the FUNGAT exam to increase your chances of admission at FAST, UET, NUST, and other engineering universities. Typically, a strong performance in the FUNGAT exam, along with meeting other admission criteria, can improve your chances of securing admission to any engineering program.

In FUNGAT the total marks are 400. The passing marks for the FUNGAT are 33%, which is 132 out of 400.

 

What is the validity period of FUNGAT?

 

The validity period of the FUNGAT is only for the year the candidate appears for it. The result of the FUNGAT stands void after the admission session of that year ends.
