Merit is determined entirely from your previous academic record using Intermediate Part-I / DAE Part-II marks — there is no entry test:
Because Intermediate Part-I carries 60% of the weight, your FSc/ICS Part-I result is the single biggest factor in your merit. Strong Matric marks help, but Part-I is where admission is won.
