ECAT score and Merit Lists
Evaluation of the applicant's suitability for the engineering admission by the engineering colleges and universities is not based only on the ECAT score rather it is a mix of applicant's previous academic performance and ECAT score.
Maximum score of ECAT varies considerably institution to institution, ranging from 100 to 400 points.
Merit Lists
A few weeks after ECAT, a consolidated merit list is displayed for selected candidates. However; some private institutions send acceptance letters to the selected candidates.

Best Preparation
You’ve probably heard the quote (originally credited to Alexander Graham Bell): Preparation is the key to success. When it comes to test taking, these are words to live by.
Engineering Colleges
Required Score
Although individual engineering college vary with respects to the score they require, a standard score of 320 (with FSc first year score of at least 480 ) or greater will probably considered to be quite competitive.
The ECAT, in combination with college grade (FSc marks) is used as a screening device. The test is an objective measure and high scores will help an individual with average grades. Average or slightly lower ECAT scores probably do not significantly affect a superior college record.
At the Test Center
When you are taking tests, try to pace yourself to allow completion of each section within the allowed time. If it is necessary to omit some questions because of time limitation, you may wish to go back after you have scored the test and try to answer them without pressure of time limit.
