i really hate to say this but you do need atleast 60% EACH in matric (o lvls) and fsc (a lvls).

I was in a same state as yours an year ago.

The thread i made last year: http://www.xtremepapers.com/community/threads/university-eligiblity.9111/

After i got the result i straight on went to the IBCC office and gave the certificates to get my A'levels equvilance made.
The equvilance they make is aggregate of Olevels and Alevels. My olevels equvilance was 79% and i ended with my Alevels equivlance at 73% (I know, i never expected this either). I was actually jumping in joy.

But i still had to take a gap year as i did not get admission in the universities i applied for. Over the past year i kept on giving SAT II to get a good score, started progamming classes in a nearby academy, cleared up most of my Alevels concepts which lead me to my bad grades, never really prepared for fsc for the universities entry test as i could not bear even a single page of the fsc book.

And after an years long wait, i ended up getting acceptance in FAST, NUST & COMSATS. Waiting list from GIKI though. (MashAllah)

So no need to be in a sad state right now, grades aren't everything that count. Even the best of men fall down.

Everything has a reason behind it and i'm sure Allah has something good planned for you, keep calm and keep on praying.

And as for your case, it really depends on your olevels equivlance.

Tell me your olevels grades and equvilance aswell and i'll give you an approximate equvilance for your Alevels. I'd think you can still make it.

Your equvilance will be easily above 65%, that i'm sure.

I'll calculate it tommorow since i'm running out of time right now but it's totally upto you now if you would like to repeat Alevels or not.

That would be your sole decision.

Your FSC equivalence will be 775 marks out of 1100. i.e 70% if you have 709/900 marks in Olevel.

That's almost the same equivalence i calculated, so you are good to go.

Hmm.. retaking one exam seems fine too but do note that you would have to appear in the composite of any subject you think of retaking since you cannot carry-forward your May/June As-level grade since they have a validity of one year only, although if you reappeared in any of you As-level exams in Oct/Nov then you can carry forward them for the next session till this year Oct/Nov.

Hope you get my point and i'm glad i helped you out.
