When you apply, you choose a specific programme (and campus/shift), not a faculty; each programme has its own merit list. Note that related subjects can sit in different departments — for example, BS Computer Science is in the Department of Computer Science, BS Software Engineering and BS IT are in the Department of Information & Communication Technology, and BS Cyber Security is in the Department of Communication & Cyber Security.
