The admission test results of Dawood University of Engineering and Technology (DUET) have revealed significant differences in the performance of students from various education boards in Sindh, with candidates from Cambridge, Aga Khan, and Karachi recording higher success rates than those from several boards in interior Sindh.

All candidates from the Cambridge examination system passed the test, achieving a 100% success rate. Meanwhile, 48 out of 49 candidates from the Aga Khan University Examination Board qualified, bringing its success rate to approximately 98%.
The Karachi Board recorded the highest number of applicants, with 1,662 students participating in the admission process. Of these, 1,521 candidates qualified, resulting in a success rate of nearly 92%.
