Merit Calculation Criteria
The BS Social Work merit is normally computed on the foundation of the marks received in intermediate (FA, FSc, ICS, or I.Com) or any other similar qualification. In the majority of universities, the most important weightage is attached to intermediate marks which are usually about 70-80%. There are also some institutions which may use matriculation results or conduct entrance tests which adds up to 10-20% percent to the final merit score. Some of the private universities might also incorporate interviews to determine the ability to communicate and to be motivated to participate in the program. Applicants that score higher in their academic work and other extracurricular activities stand a greater chance of featuring in the first merit list.
Merit List in Public Universities
Colleges and universities in the public sector are also very competitive due to the cheap fee system and well developed programs. Some of these universities such as Punjab University, University of Karachi, University of Peshawar actually have closing merit at 70-85 percent depending on the number of applicants and available spaces. This means that the merit trend will continue to be on the higher side within 2025 with more students showing interest in social work as more governmental welfare programs, NGO, and community development programs are increasingly becoming relevant to them. Students who have good academic background have a greater probability of getting admission in the first merit list.

The unsuccessful candidates who only attain low percentages but fail to be admitted to the public sector institutions have chances of getting a chance in the private universities. Such universities tend to run several admission seasons within the year and the merit lists are posted on the internet to be accessed easily. Although the last merit in the private institutions can be a little lower, they are offering good facilities, internship programs and international partnerships thus being the preference of many students.
