Closing merit at competitive public medical colleges has recently sat around 90–92%, and varies by province, college, and year. Treat published closing merit as history, not a threshold you can count on.

The formula

  • Matric / SSC marks10%
  • FSc / HSSC marks40%
  • MDCAT score50%

Each component is converted to a percentage of its own total, multiplied by its weight, then added together.

Check this before you rely on it

  • You must meet the minimum MDCAT qualifying score set for the cycle before merit is calculated.
  • Hafiz-e-Quran candidates may receive 20 bonus marks added to the HSSC total before the percentage is worked out. This calculator does not add them automatically — include them in your FSc marks if they apply to you.
  • Some provinces and private institutions exclude Matric and use a 50/50 FSc and test split. Check your target college’s policy.

Weighting checked on against PMDC merit formula, as reported by Maqsad. This is a secondary source, not an official notification — verify against the university's own admission policy.

Each university weights the entry test differently — the same marks give very different aggregates.
