NUMS admits students to Army Medical College and its affiliated and armed-forces medical and dental colleges. NUMS announces your test result as a percentage, so enter that percentage and we do the rest.
Checked against the official documents on 25 October 2026. Other universities: all merit calculators.
Enter the totals printed on your result cards (for example 1100 or 1200). O and A level students: use your IBCC equivalence marks. NUMS shows your test result as a percentage: enter it exactly as it appears, for example 82.5.
National University of Medical Sciences, MBBS. Closing figures are what it took last time; merit moves every year, so treat them as a guide, not a promise.
One percentage point in NUMS MDCAT adds 0.5000 to your aggregate, as much as 14 FSc marks. To raise your aggregate by 1, you need about 2 more percentage points.
Aggregate 88.2273% (+0.000).
Pick the aggregate you are aiming for. We use the Matric and FSc marks above.
You need at least 88.5% in the NUMS MDCAT.
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. The difference is how the test result reaches you: NUMS shows it as a percentage out of 100, not as marks out of 180, so half of that percentage is your test part.
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. Your result shows one percentage for the test; enter it as it is. NUMS also accepts a valid MCAT (USA) or UCAT (UK) score instead of its own test.

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.
Matric 1000/1100, FSc 1010/1100 and NUMS MDCAT 85/100.
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.
The weighting is the same everywhere. The test total and the merit lists are not.

| KMU uses 20% Matric, 40% FSc and 40% MDCAT | KMU's policy: Matric 10%, FSc 40%, MDCAT 50%. |

| Hafiz-e-Quran students get 20 extra marks | No extra marks under PM&DC's current admission regulations. |
| MDCAT is out of 200 | MDCAT is 180 MCQs; only older results were out of 200. |
| You need 60% in MDCAT to pass | 60% is the FSc minimum. MDCAT needs 55% (MBBS) or 50% (BDS). |

No. NUMS uses the same weighting, SSC 10%, HSSC 40% and entrance test 50%. The difference is that NUMS gives you the test result as a percentage, so the test part is simply half of it: 85% in the NUMS test adds 42.5 to your aggregate.
Enter the percentage exactly as it appears on your NUMS result, for example 82.5. You don't need to turn it into marks first: the calculator takes 50% of it for the test part.
Yes. NUMS gives SSC/Matric or equivalent a 10% weight. Claims that NUMS uses only FSc and the test are wrong.
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.
Yes. NUMS's admission advert accepts a valid MCAT (USA) or UCAT (UK) with 50% marks in the prescribed subjects as the entrance test.
Merit for MBBS and BDS is your aggregate: 10% of your Matric percentage, 40% of your FSc percentage and 50% of your MDCAT percentage. KMU, UHS, the Sindh universities, Balochistan and NUMS all use this formula, then rank every applicant by it and fill seats in that order. Compare your merit with last session's closing merit for each college.
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%.
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. NUMS is different: it announces its test result as a percentage, so on the NUMS calculator you enter that percentage instead of marks.
No. KMU (KPK), UHS (Punjab), Sindh's universities, Balochistan's Selection Committee 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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%.
