Sindh merit calculator.
Sindh ranks students district by district on one aggregate of Matric, Inter and MDCAT. Enter your marks to see yours, worked to five decimals the way Sindh's prospectus does it.
Checked against the official documents on 25 October 2026. Other universities: all merit 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. MDCAT is out of 180. A result stays valid for three years, so if yours is an older result out of 200, choose 200.
Your merit report
Sindh's admitting universities (JSMU, LUMHS, SMBBMU), MBBS. Closing figures are what it took last time; merit moves every year, so treat them as a guide, not a promise.

- MDCAT5.56of 50 lost
One mark in MDCAT adds 0.2778 to your aggregate, as much as 8 FSc marks. To raise your aggregate by 1, you need about 4 more MDCAT marks.
What if you scored differently in MDCAT?

What MDCAT score do I need?
Pick the aggregate you are aiming for. We use the Matric and FSc marks above.
You need at least 160 out of 180 in MDCAT (88.5%).
How Sindh calculates merit.
Sindh's admission prospectus sets the overall merit as Matric (or O level equivalence) 10%, HSC (or A level equivalence) 40% and MDCAT 50%. It says: "All calculation in percentages will be rounded up to five decimal points. In case final merit of more than one candidate is equal up to five decimals, the candidate older in age shall stand higher in merit."
Admission is run by the Health Department through processing universities. For session 2026-27, Jinnah Sindh Medical University (JSMU) processes Karachi Division (Dow University did it in 2025-26), Liaquat University (LUMHS) Jamshoro and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical University (SMBBMU) Larkana the rest. Seats are shared out by district: "a candidate from one district shall not compete with a candidate of other districts." So the same aggregate can be inside merit in one district and short in another.

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 980/1100, FSc 1000/1100 and MDCAT 158/180.
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
What is the aggregate formula for Sindh public medical colleges?
Matric or O level equivalence 10%, HSC or A level equivalence 40% and MDCAT 50%, each as a percentage of its own total, worked to five decimal places. Sindh's prospectus gives this example: Matric 650/850, HSC 660/1100 and MDCAT 99/180 give 7.647 + 24.000 + 27.500 = 59.147%.
Why is my rank different in different Sindh merit lists?
Seats are allocated by district, and you compete only with candidates of your own district. Your aggregate is the same everywhere; the list you are in changes.
Who runs Sindh's MBBS admission in Karachi?
For session 2026-27, Jinnah Sindh Medical University (JSMU) processes admissions for Karachi Division; Dow University did it in 2025-26. LUMHS and SMBBMU process the other regions.
I did O and A levels. What do I enter?
Enter the marks on your IBCC equivalence certificates for Matric and HSC, with the totals printed on them.
How is merit calculated for MBBS in Pakistan?
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.
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. NUMS is different: it announces its test result as a percentage, so on the NUMS calculator you enter that percentage instead of marks.
Is the aggregate formula different in each province?
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.
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.
Half your aggregate is one test.
Prepare for MDCAT with chapter-wise MCQs, past papers and full-length tests.
