Formula: 10% Matric + 40% FSc + 50% MDCAT
How the MDCAT aggregate is calculated
Pakistani public medical colleges do not rank students on MDCAT marks alone. Your admission aggregate combines three results — Matric, FSc (Pre-Medical) and the entry test — using the PMC weightage of 10% Matric + 40% FSc + 50% MDCAT. Each result is first converted to a percentage, then multiplied by its weight, and the three weighted values are added together.
Worked example
Matric 1000 / 1100 = 90.91% → 90.91 × 0.10 = 9.09
FSc 950 / 1100 = 86.36% → 86.36 × 0.40 = 34.55
MDCAT 160 / 200 = 80.00% → 80.00 × 0.50 = 40.00
Aggregate = 9.09 + 34.55 + 40.00 = 83.64%
The same three-step method applies to every exam below — only the weights change. That is why a strong entry test can lift a modest FSc result for NUST, while for MDCAT your FSc marks carry almost as much weight as the test itself.
Aggregate formulas compared
| Exam | Matric | FSc | Entry test | Used for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MDCAT (PMC / PM&DC) | 10% | 40% | 50% | Public medical & dental colleges |
| UHS Punjab | 10% | 40% | 50% | Punjab MBBS / BDS merit lists |
| NUMS | 10% | 40% | 50% | NUMS own entry test |
| ECAT (UET Lahore) | 25% | 45% | 30% | Punjab engineering universities |
| NUST (NET) | 10% | 15% | 75% | NUST engineering & sciences |
Weightages follow the formulas published by PMC/PM&DC, UHS, NUMS, UET Lahore and NUST. Universities can revise them between sessions — confirm against the current prospectus before relying on a number.
What aggregate do I need?
There is no fixed passing aggregate — merit is relative and moves every year with the number of applicants and seats. The chance bands shown by the calculator are drawn from 2024 open-merit closing aggregates, so treat them as a rough position check rather than a cut-off:
- MDCAT / UHS: roughly 88%+ has been competitive for top public MBBS seats; the mid-80s often lands mid-tier public or strong private lists.
- NUMS: closing aggregates have typically sat a little below UHS open merit.
- ECAT / UET: around 80%+ for the most in-demand engineering disciplines, lower for others.
- NUST NET: because NET is 75% of the aggregate, your test score effectively decides the outcome.
These are historical indications only, not predictions or guarantees. Always check the official merit lists published by the university for the current session.
Common aggregate mistakes
- Weighting raw marks instead of percentages. Multiply the percentage by the weight, never the marks.
- Using the wrong total. Matric and FSc totals differ across boards — enter the total printed on your own result card.
- Forgetting improvement-exam rules. Many institutions deduct marks for improvement attempts, or count the original result. Check the prospectus.
- Mixing formulas. A NUST aggregate cannot be compared with an MDCAT aggregate — the weightages are completely different.
- Confusing aggregate with merit. Quotas, hafiz-e-Quran bonus and reserved seats adjust merit after the aggregate is calculated — use the merit calculator for that step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the aggregate formula for MDCAT?
The PMC standard aggregate is 10% Matric + 40% FSc + 50% MDCAT. Each component is converted to a percentage first, then weighted and added.
How do I calculate my MDCAT aggregate manually?
Convert each result to a percentage (obtained ÷ total × 100), then multiply Matric % by 0.10, FSc % by 0.40 and MDCAT % by 0.50 and add the three numbers.
Is this a PMC aggregate calculator?
Yes — the MDCAT option uses the PMC/PM&DC weightage (10/40/50) that Pakistani public medical colleges apply to open-merit lists.
Can I use it as an aggregate calculator for MBBS?
Yes. MBBS and BDS open-merit lists in Pakistan are built from the same MDCAT aggregate, so pick MDCAT (or UHS Punjab for Punjab colleges) and enter your marks.
How is the NUMS aggregate calculated?
NUMS also weights 10% Matric + 40% FSc + 50% NUMS entry test, but it uses its own test rather than the MDCAT score.
Does the UHS merit formula differ from PMC?
UHS Punjab applies the same 10% Matric + 40% FSc + 50% entry-test weightage; the difference is the merit list and closing aggregate, not the formula.
Is the NUST aggregate formula different?
Yes — NUST weights NET heavily: 75% NET + 15% FSc + 10% Matric, so the entry test matters far more than your board results.
What is the ECAT aggregate formula for UET?
UET Lahore and most Punjab engineering universities use 25% Matric + 45% FSc + 30% ECAT.
Should I enter marks or percentages?
Enter raw obtained marks along with the total (for example 950 out of 1100). The calculator converts each part to a percentage for you.
Are the admission chances guaranteed?
No. The bands are based on 2024 open-merit closing aggregates and are indicative only — always confirm against the official prospectus for the current session.
