Result uses the official PMDC weightage. Final merit lists may also apply domicile, quota and eligibility rules set by each university.
The MDCAT aggregate calculator on this page turns your Matric, FSc and MDCAT marks into a single merit percentage. Medical and dental colleges in Pakistan use this aggregate to rank applicants for MBBS and BDS seats. Enter your scores above to see your result, then read on to understand how the number is built and what it means for admission.
Your MDCAT score carries the most weight, so it moves your aggregate the most. Matric and FSc still matter in close merit races, especially when hundreds of students sit within a fraction of a percent.
How the MDCAT Aggregate Is Calculated
The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) sets one standard weightage for public-sector admissions. Most colleges under UHS Punjab, SZABMU, DUHS and KMU follow it.
| Component | Weightage | How it is counted |
|---|---|---|
| Matric (SSC) | 10% | (Obtained ÷ Total) × 10 |
| FSc / Intermediate | 40% | (Obtained ÷ Total) × 40 |
| MDCAT | 50% | (Obtained ÷ 180) × 50 |
The three parts add up to a final figure out of 100. MDCAT is now marked out of 180, so the calculator uses 180 as the default test total. You can change any total if your board or test used a different maximum.
How to Calculate Your MDCAT Aggregate Step by Step
- Convert your Matric marks to a percentage, then multiply by 0.10.
- Convert your FSc marks to a percentage, then multiply by 0.40.
- Convert your MDCAT marks to a percentage, then multiply by 0.50.
- Add the three weighted values to get your aggregate.
Worked Example
Take a student with 1000/1100 in Matric, 1020/1100 in FSc, and 160/180 in MDCAT.
- Matric: (1000 ÷ 1100) × 10 = 9.09
- FSc: (1020 ÷ 1100) × 40 = 37.09
- MDCAT: (160 ÷ 180) × 50 = 44.44
- Aggregate = 9.09 + 37.09 + 44.44 = 90.62%
The same steps run inside the calculator, so you get the exact figure without manual work.
MDCAT Aggregate Formula by Institution
Not every medical body uses the standard 10/40/50 split. A few large institutions drop Matric or use their own entry test. The calculator above lets you switch between these formulas.
| Institution | Formula |
|---|---|
| UHS Punjab and most public colleges | 10% Matric + 40% FSc + 50% MDCAT |
| FMDC and federal colleges | 50% FSc + 50% MDCAT (no Matric) |
| NUMS (AFMC, CMH and military colleges) | 50% FSc + 50% NUMS Test (no Matric) |
KPK applicants should confirm the current split on the KMU admission portal, since provincial rules can be revised between sessions. Always cross-check the exact formula on your target university’s official admission notification before finalising a college list.
What Aggregate Do You Need for MBBS
There is no fixed pass mark for admission. Merit is set each year by seat count and by how the applicant pool performs. Closing aggregates rise in strong years and drop when the pool scores lower.
As a general guide, public-sector MBBS usually needs a higher aggregate than BDS. Private colleges and self-finance seats often close at lower merit. Treat any past closing figure as a reference point, not a guarantee, and check the current year’s merit list on the admitting university’s site.
Tips to Improve Your Aggregate
- Focus on MDCAT first, since half of your aggregate rests on it.
- Recheck your FSc result if you are close to a grade boundary, because 40% weight is significant.
- Apply broadly across colleges rather than banking on a single high-merit seat.
- Keep BDS and private options open as a backup when your aggregate sits near the cutoff.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MDCAT aggregate formula in Pakistan? The standard PMDC formula is 10% Matric, 40% FSc and 50% MDCAT. It applies to most public MBBS and BDS admissions unless a university notifies its own rule.
Is MDCAT out of 180 or 200? The current MDCAT is marked out of 180. Older sessions used 200, so change the test total in the calculator if you are working with a past result.
Does NUMS use the same formula? No. NUMS uses 50% FSc and 50% of its own entry test, with no Matric weightage. Select the NUMS option in the calculator to apply it.
Can I calculate my aggregate without Matric marks? Yes. Choose the FMDC or NUMS formula, and the calculator removes the Matric field automatically.
Is a high MDCAT score enough on its own? No. MDCAT is 50% of the aggregate, so weak FSc or Matric marks can still pull your merit down in a close race.
