Where do I find my NTS result? On the official NTS website, nts.org.pk, under Results and Answer Keys. You enter your 13-digit CNIC without dashes, or your roll number, and your result card appears. It is free: no site that asks for payment or personal details to show you an NTS result is official.
This guide explains how to check your NTS result by CNIC step by step, what the result card shows, how long NAT and GAT scores stay valid, and what to do if your card never arrives or you want your paper rechecked.

How to Check Your NTS Result by CNIC in Pakistan#
- Step 1: open the official NTS website, nts.org.pk. Use the official site only. ntslogin.pk is not NTS.
- Step 2: open Results and Answer Keys. Find your test by name and test date in the list, and click Details. Recent examples: NAT 2026-X and GAT General 2026-VII, both held on 11 October 2026, were announced on the official results page.
- Step 3: enter your CNIC without dashes. Type your 13-digit CNIC number, with no dashes and no spaces. Some tests ask for the roll number instead: enter it exactly as it appears on your slip. You can also check by candidate name on some result pages.
- Step 4: enter the CAPTCHA code and click Search or Submit. Type the verification characters shown on the page, then submit. Your result card appears on the screen.
- Step 5: view, download or print your result card. Save the card: universities ask for a copy with your admission form, and departments ask for it with a job application. Our NTS result page explains which tests NTS runs and how the results work, and our NTS online apply guide explains how to register for a test in the first place.
NAT vs GAT: What Your Result Is Worth#
A NAT result is valid for one year from the result announcement. NAT is the National Aptitude Test, used for university admissions. Apply to universities within that year, with a copy of your result card attached to the admission form.
A GAT result is valid for two years. GAT General is for MS and MPhil admissions, and GAT Subject is for PhD admissions. The same result can be used to apply to multiple universities that accept NTS scores.
GAT pass mark is at least 50% for most MPhil and MS programmes. The result card shows your section-wise scores: Quantitative, Verbal and Analytical for GAT, and your scores, percentile and subject-wise performance for NAT.
Results come about 7 to 10 days after the test. Answer keys are released before the final result. For example, the NAT XI test held on 1 November 2026 had its result announced on 10 November 2026. If your test is not in the results list yet, it has not been announced: check again in a few days.
From Test Day to Result Card in Pakistan#
Day 1: you take the test. Keep your roll number slip safe: our roll number slip guide explains how to get it by CNIC if you lose it. The slip carries the roll number you may need to check your result.
Before the result: the answer key is released. You can compare your answers and estimate your score, but the answer key is not the result.
About 7 to 10 days after the test: the result is announced. Check it by CNIC on the official results page, using the steps above.
After the result: your result card is dispatched through TCS. By-hand collection is not allowed. If your card does not reach you within 10 days of the dispatch date, you can request a duplicate free of cost: one guide says 20 days, but the NTS form itself says 10 days. After that window, a fee applies: Rs 200 for a NAT duplicate card and Rs 300 for a GAT duplicate card, paid at an Allied Bank branch, with a written request (roll number, test title, test date and test score) and the original NTS copy of the deposit slip sent to the NTS office. Duplicate issuance takes at least 5 working days.
Mistakes to Avoid#
Typing your CNIC with dashes. The result page asks for your CNIC without dashes. Type all 13 digits in one go, with no dashes and no spaces.
Paying for your result. NTS results are free on nts.org.pk. Any site that asks for payment, or for personal details beyond your CNIC or roll number, is not NTS. Check only on the official site.
Checking the wrong test. NTS runs many tests in the same month. Find your test by name and test date in the results list, and click Details, before you enter your CNIC. A result for a different test will not show your score.
Missing the rechecking deadline. If you want your NAT or GAT paper rechecked, deposit the rechecking fee online at an HBL branch within 15 days of the result announcement, and send a written request (roll number, test title, test date and test score) with the original NTS copy of the deposit slip to the NTS office. After 15 days the request is not processed.
Waiting too long for a missing card. If your card has not arrived within 10 days of the dispatch date, contact NTS: UAN +92-51-844-444-1 (Incharge Result Section) or info@nts.org.pk. Do not wait months: after the free window, a duplicate costs Rs 200 for NAT and Rs 300 for GAT.
Check your result only at nts.org.pk.
