MDCAT Aggregate Calculator 2026 (20 Sep Exam, 10/40/50 Formula)
MDCAT 2026 sits on 20 September after PMDC rescheduled it from 16 August. Work out your aggregate on the PMDC 10/40/50 formula, see how it compares against the roughly 91 percent that closes a Punjab public MBBS seat, and reverse-estimate the MDCAT score you still need.
About the MDCAT Aggregate Calculator 2026 (20 Sep Exam, 10/40/50 Formula)
Free Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PMDC) MDCAT aggregate calculator for MBBS and BDS admissions. MDCAT 2026 is scheduled for 20 September 2026, moved from the original 16 August date after PMDC revised the schedule. Registration closed on 8 July at the normal fee of Rs 9,000 and 13 July with the late fee of Rs 13,000. The paper is 180 MCQs across Biology 81, Chemistry 45, Physics 36, English 9 and Logical Reasoning 9, with no negative marking.
What aggregate you actually need: a Punjab public MBBS seat on open merit has in recent cycles landed somewhere in the low nineties, but treat that as a band rather than a number. The strongest Lahore colleges run several points above that. Note that UHS does not publish a consolidated closing merit table: it issues selection lists one college at a time behind dropdowns and posts the Order of Merit as scanned images, so any site quoting exact per-college cut-offs is estimating. That gap is worth understanding rather than glossing over: closing merit FALLS with each successive selection list as higher-scoring candidates take seats elsewhere, so a first-list cutoff and a final cutoff for the same college are both true and can differ by two to three points. Judge yourself against the final figure, not the headline one. Sindh public colleges such as DUHS typically close in the mid-to-high 80s, and the stronger KPK colleges such as Ayub and Khyber Medical College around 87 to 90 percent.
Uses the widely cited admission formula: Matric (SSC) 10% + FSc Pre-Medical (HSSC) 40% + MDCAT 50%, applied by most PMDC recognised medical colleges in Punjab (UHS), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KMU), Sindh (where DUHS / SMC follow the PMDC standard) and AJK. Enter Matric obtained and total, FSc obtained and total, then your raw MDCAT score (the default mode and the correct mode for the current PMDC NMDCAT cycle). Per the PMDC public notice, the MDCAT is 180 MCQs over 3 hours with NO negative marking, so the default total here is 180. The dropdown also supports 200 (older PMC cycles) and 210 (pre-2024 cycles). An optional Custom (with negative marking) mode is available for non-PMDC tests only, use it if your specific non-PMDC test (for example NUMS, AKU or FMDC) documents a per-wrong-answer penalty in its current information guide, you enter correct and wrong attempts and the tool applies a -1 deduction. The calculator returns: Matric / FSc / MDCAT raw percentages, each component's weighted contribution and the final aggregate %. A built-in target-aggregate estimator tells you exactly what MDCAT score you need to hit (e.g. 85% target, 90% target) given your Matric and FSc inputs. A per-college closing merit table used to sit here and was removed in August 2026 because its figures could not be traced to UHS; the page now gives the band and points you at UHS instead. Important caveats: PMDC MDCAT rules (total marks, negative marking, weighting) can change year to year, always confirm against the current cycle's official PMDC / UHS / KMU prospectus before relying on the figures. NUMS Army Medical College and the AKU / FMDC entrance tests use separate formulas. Real merit lists also factor in district / province quotas and reserved seats outside this calculation. The tool produces estimates only. All computation runs entirely client-side in your browser, no marks or personal academic data is transmitted or stored anywhere.
PMDC formula: Matric 10% + FSc 40% + MDCAT 50%
Used for MBBS / BDS admissions across PMDC-recognised medical colleges in Punjab (UHS), KP (KMU), Sindh (where the relevant admitting university follows the PMDC standard) and AJK. NUMS Army Medical College, AKU and FMDC use their own formulas not covered here. NMDCAT 2025 has 180 MCQs with no negative marking per the PMDC public notice; rules can change year to year, so always verify the current cycle's prospectus from PMDC and your target admitting university. Final merit lists also factor in district / province quotas and reserved seats outside this calculation.
Punjab 1200, Federal 1100. Use your result card. Some boards use 850 or 1050.
Punjab 1200, Federal 1100. Use your result card. A-Level / O-Level students must first get IBCC equivalence certificate.
PMDC NMDCAT 2025 uses 180 marks (180 MCQs, no negative marking). Older PMC cycles used 200. Pre-2024 cycles used 210. Verify your year's prospectus.
Given your Matric and FSc percentages, this is the minimum MDCAT score needed to hit the target aggregate. If the required percentage is 100% or above, your target is mathematically unreachable with the current Matric / FSc inputs.
A public MBBS seat in Punjab on open merit has in recent cycles needed somewhere around the low nineties, with the strongest Lahore colleges several points above that and BDS a few points below MBBS at the same college. Treat that as a band, not a number.
This page deliberately shows no per-college closing merit table. UHS, which chairs the Punjab admission board, publishes selection lists one college at a time behind dropdown menus and issues the Order of Merit as scanned images, per session. There is no consolidated table to cite. A table of named colleges quoted to two decimal places for past years used to sit here; it was removed in August 2026 because every row repeated the previous year exactly, and most of its sources were other calculator sites rather than UHS. Any site showing you that kind of table is almost certainly copying one.
The calendar is the reliable part. For session 2025-26 UHS issued the Provisional Order of Merit on 5 December 2025, with selection lists running afterwards. Merit falls with each successive selection list as candidates decline seats: UET publishes its lists and every one of its 33 open merit programmes dropped between List 1 and List 2 this cycle. Medical admissions behave the same way, so judge yourself against the final list for your target college, never the first. Check merit on your target university's own site, and remember district and province quotas, self-finance and reciprocal seats run as separate lists.
NUMS uses a separate 50/50 FSc plus NUMS test formula (no matric weight). A-Level students should first get HEC equivalence, then use those equivalent marks here.
How to use the MDCAT Aggregate Calculator 2026 (20 Sep Exam, 10/40/50 Formula)
- Enter your Matric (SSC) obtained marks and the total (1200 on Punjab boards, 1100 on the Federal Board). The calculator computes Matric percentage automatically.
- Enter your Inter / FSc Pre-Medical obtained marks and the total (1200 on Punjab boards, 1100 on the Federal Board). A-Level / O-Level students need to get IBCC equivalence first.
- Pick MDCAT marks entry mode: Raw score (default, correct for PMDC the current PMDC MDCAT cycle since there is no negative marking) OR Custom (with negative marking) where you enter correct and wrong attempts and the tool applies a -1 penalty. Custom mode is intended for non-PMDC entry tests such as NUMS, AKU or FMDC where the admitting institution applies a wrong-answer penalty, not for the PMDC MDCAT itself.
- Select MDCAT total marks: 180 for PMDC the current PMDC MDCAT cycle (current default, 180 MCQs, no negative marking per PMDC public notice), 200 for older PMC cycles, or 210 for pre-2024 cycles. Always verify with your year's official prospectus.
- Read the aggregate breakdown: Matric, FSc and MDCAT raw percentages, each weighted contribution (×10%, ×40%, ×50%), and the final aggregate. Compare against the reference 2024 Punjab cut-offs surfaced below the result for benchmark.
- Use the Required MDCAT score estimator to reverse-calculate: given your Matric and FSc, enter a target aggregate (e.g. 90%) and the tool tells you the minimum MDCAT score required.
