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.

How UHS (Punjab) calculates merit.
UHS's prospectus for Punjab's public-sector colleges and the Punjab admission policy set the weighting as Matriculation (SSC or equivalent) 10%, F.Sc. (HSSC pre-medical or equivalent) 40% and MDCAT 50%. The prospectus adds: "Final calculation in percentage will be rounded up to four decimal points." When two candidates are still equal, the older one is placed higher, then the one with more MDCAT marks, then more HSSC marks, then more SSC marks.
The Punjab policy is plain about Hifz: "The marks for Hifz-e-Quran shall not be granted for admission to Medical and Dental Colleges." MDCAT stays valid for three years from the date it was held, and an older result out of 200 is scaled on its own total, so choose 200 if that is what yours was out of. Candidates with a Punjab domicile must sit the MDCAT in Punjab.

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 1050/1100, FSc 1040/1100 and MDCAT 170/180.
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 UHS aggregate formula?
UHS uses Matric 10%, FSc 40% and MDCAT 50%. Turn each into a percentage of its own total, multiply by the weight, add the three and round to four decimal places.
Does UHS give extra marks for Hifz-e-Quran?
No. Punjab's admission policy says: "The marks for Hifz-e-Quran shall not be granted for admission to Medical and Dental Colleges."
Can I use my older MDCAT result for UHS?
Yes, within three years of the date the MDCAT was held. If your result was out of 200, choose 200 as the MDCAT total: UHS scales it on its own total.
How does UHS break a tie?
If aggregates are equal, the older candidate is placed higher; then the one with more MDCAT marks, then more HSSC marks, then more SSC marks, as UHS's prospectus lists them.
Do I have to list every college in my UHS preferences?
For public-sector colleges, yes: applicants list all colleges in order of preference. For private colleges you choose at least one.
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.
