NUMS aggregate calculator.
NUMS admits students to Army Medical College and its affiliated and armed-forces medical and dental colleges. Its test is out of 200, so its aggregate needs its own total.
Checked against the official documents on 25 October 2026. Other universities: all calculators.
Your marks
Enter the totals printed on your result cards (for example 1100 or 1200). O and A level students: use your IBCC equivalence marks. The NUMS test has 200 MCQs in all (150 subject + 50 psychological).
What NUMS MDCAT score do I need?
Pick the aggregate you are aiming for. We use the Matric and FSc marks above.
You need at least 178 out of 200 in NUMS MDCAT (88.5%).
How NUMS calculates merit.
NUMS's admission advert sets the weighting as the entrance test 50%, HSSC/F.Sc (pre-medical) or equivalent 40% and SSC/Matric or equivalent 10%. It is the same split as PM&DC's MDCAT, but the NUMS test is not out of 180.
The NUMS MDCAT has two papers: Paper I with 150 subject MCQs (Biology 55, Chemistry 40, Physics 40 and English 15) and Paper II, a 50-MCQ psychological test, 200 MCQs in all. There is no Logical Reasoning section. Enter the total printed on your NUMS result. NUMS also accepts a valid MCAT (USA) or UCAT (UK) score instead of its own test.

The aggregate formula.
Three results, each turned into a percentage of its own total, then weighted and added.
The weights add up to 100, so your aggregate is a percentage too. The entry test alone carries half the weight, as much as Matric and FSc put together, and it is the one result you can still change.
Worked example, line by line.
Matric 1000/1100, FSc 1010/1100 and NUMS MDCAT 170/200.
Keep four decimal places while you work and round only at the end. KMU, for example, ranks students to five decimal places, so a rounding slip of 0.01 can move you past hundreds of students.
Formula by university.
The weighting is the same everywhere. The test total and the merit lists are not.

Rules that change your aggregate.
- Use the totals on your result cards. Boards print 1100 or 1200 (and other totals); using the wrong total changes your percentage.
- Minimums to apply: 60% in HSSC, and 55% in MDCAT for MBBS or 50% for BDS.
- Older MDCAT results: a result stays valid for three years in every province. Use the total it was marked out of.
- No Hifz-e-Quran marks are added under PM&DC's current admission regulations.
- O and A levels: use the marks on your IBCC equivalence certificates. Read how IBCC equivalence works.
- Improved results count only if declared before the closing date. See rules for improvers and repeaters.
- Ties: KMU works to five decimal places and places the older candidate higher.

Questions students ask
Is the NUMS aggregate formula different from MDCAT's?
No. NUMS uses the same weighting, SSC 10%, HSSC 40% and entrance test 50%. The difference is that its test is out of 200, not 180.
Does NUMS count Matric in the aggregate?
Yes. NUMS gives SSC/Matric or equivalent a 10% weight. Claims that NUMS uses only FSc and the test are wrong.
How many MCQs are in the NUMS test?
200: Paper I has 150 subject MCQs (Biology 55, Chemistry 40, Physics 40, English 15) and Paper II is a 50-MCQ psychological test. There is no negative marking.
Can I apply to NUMS with an MCAT or UCAT score?
Yes. NUMS's admission advert accepts a valid MCAT (USA) or UCAT (UK) with 50% marks in the prescribed subjects as the entrance test.
How do I calculate my MDCAT aggregate?
Turn each mark into a percentage of its own total, then add 10% of your Matric percentage, 40% of your FSc percentage and 50% of your MDCAT percentage. For example, Matric 990/1100 (90%), FSc 1010/1100 (91.82%) and MDCAT 160/180 (88.89%) give 9 + 36.7273 + 44.4444 = 90.1717%.
Is MDCAT out of 180 or 200?
PM&DC's MDCAT is 180 MCQs, one mark each. An MDCAT result stays valid for three years, so if you are using an older result that was out of 200, enter 200 as the total. The NUMS test is out of 200 (150 subject MCQs and 50 psychological MCQs).
Is the aggregate formula different in each province?
No. KMU (KPK), UHS (Punjab), Sindh's universities, BUMHS (Balochistan) and NUMS all use 10% Matric, 40% FSc and 50% for the entry test, following PM&DC's admission regulations. What differs is the test total, the seat categories and who you compete with.
Do Hafiz-e-Quran students get extra marks?
No. Under PM&DC's admission regulations and a 2023 suo motu judgment, no additional marks are given for Hifz-e-Quran. Calculators that still add 20 marks are out of date.
What are the minimum marks to apply for MBBS and BDS?
At least 60% in HSSC (FSc pre-medical or equivalent), and at least 55% in MDCAT for MBBS or 50% for BDS (99 or 90 out of 180). In April 2026 PM&DC allowed a one-time relaxation of up to 3% only to fill seats left vacant in the 2025-26 session; the standard minimums are unchanged.
Which marks matter most in the aggregate?
MDCAT, by far. With a 1100-mark FSc, one MDCAT mark (out of 180) is worth about 7.6 FSc marks and about 30.6 Matric marks.
I did O and A levels. How do I calculate my aggregate?
Get your IBCC equivalence certificates and enter the equivalent marks and totals for Matric (O level) and FSc (A level). Universities use the IBCC figures, not your grades.
My FSc result has not come yet. Can I still estimate?
Yes. Enter the marks you expect, or your Part I marks scaled to the full total, to get an estimate. Your real aggregate will use the final result you submit before the closing date.
Is improving FSc or MDCAT better for my aggregate?
Usually MDCAT. Raising FSc by 50 marks (out of 1100) adds about 1.82% to your aggregate; raising MDCAT by 10 marks (out of 180) adds about 2.78%.
Next, plan your admission.
