Securing admission to a prestigious government college in Karachi is a major milestone for every Matric graduate. However, the most common question running through every student’s mind after the results are announced is: “Do I have enough marks to get into my dream college?” The most reliable way to answer this is by analyzing past merit trends.
The Sindh Electronic Centralized College Admission Program (SECCAP) releases official merit lists and cut-off marks every year. A college’s closing merit fluctuates annually based on the overall Matric percentage trends, the total number of available seats, and student preferences for that specific year.
To help you understand these shifting trends, we have compiled a comprehensive breakdown of SECCAP closing marks over the last 9 years (from 2016 to 2024).
Why Is This Historical Data Important For You?
Analyzing historical data gives you a realistic benchmark. For instance, if you scored 80% in Matric, and a specific college’s closing merit has consistently hovered between 78% and 82% over the last three years, you have a very strong chance of securing a seat there.
Keep in mind that merit requirements vary significantly across different faculties—such as Pre-Medical, Pre-Engineering, Computer Science (ICS), Commerce, and Humanities.
Be sure to check the specific faculty trends before locking in your choices on the SECCAP admission portal to ensure a smooth admission process!
