MDCAT Aggregate Calculator

The MDCAT Aggregate Calculator applies the weighting set by PM&DC's Admissions Regulations 2025 for MBBS and BDS: 10% Matric plus 40% FSc Pre-Medical plus 50% MDCAT. Enter your three scores and the aggregate appears instantly. If your MDCAT score is reported as a raw number out of 200, enter the score and total marks and the calculator converts it to a percentage before applying the formula. This is an estimate, not a published rule; check your university's prospectus, since admitting bodies and private colleges can use different weights.

How the MDCAT aggregate is calculated

MBBS and BDS admission in Pakistan is regulated by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC), which replaced the Pakistan Medical Commission in 2022. PM&DC's Admissions Regulations 2025 set the weighting below for public colleges (Regulation 4(3)) and private colleges (Regulation 5(2)); admitting universities run the merit lists, and colleges administered by the Armed Forces admit through NUMS and its own test. The formula gives the MDCAT the highest weight because it is the standardised measure of aptitude across all candidates, regardless of which board or province their Matric and FSc results come from.

Aggregate = (Matric % × 0.10) + (FSc % × 0.40) + (MDCAT % × 0.50)

Worked example: calculating MDCAT aggregate

ComponentScoreWeightContribution
Matric91%10%9.1
FSc Pre-Medical87%40%34.8
MDCAT (164 out of 200)82%50%41.0
Aggregate100%84.9%

An 84.9% aggregate is competitive for many provincial government colleges. Improving the MDCAT score by 10 marks (from 164 to 174 out of 200) would add 2.5 percentage points to the aggregate, raising it to 87.4%. This illustrates why MDCAT preparation has the highest return on investment of the three components.

Where to find closing merits

Closing merits depend on the college, the seat category and the year, and the admitting university publishes them with each merit list. This page does not show estimated ranges, because we could not check them against official lists. Compare your aggregate with last year's official merit list for the college you want.

How to calculate MDCAT aggregate with this calculator

  1. Enter your Matric percentage.
  2. Enter your FSc Pre-Medical percentage.
  3. Enter your MDCAT score and the total marks it is out of (usually 200).
  4. Read your aggregate in the result panel.
  5. Compare it with last year's official merit list for your target college.

How to improve your aggregate

Since the MDCAT carries 50% of the total weight, it has the most impact on your aggregate. Improving your MDCAT score by 10 marks out of 200 adds 2.5 percentage points. Improving your FSc percentage by 1 point adds only 0.4 percentage points. If you are retaking the MDCAT, focus your preparation there rather than on improving an already-strong FSc result.

When to use the MDCAT Aggregate Calculator

Use it as soon as your MDCAT result is announced to calculate your aggregate before official merit lists are published. Use it beforehand with target MDCAT scores to determine what score you need to reach a particular aggregate. For general university merit across other programs, use the Merit Calculator. For engineering admissions specifically, use the ECAT Aggregate Calculator.

Common mistakes when calculating MDCAT aggregate

Entering raw MDCAT marks as a percentage. If your MDCAT score is 160 out of 200, the percentage is 80%, not 160. Enter 160 in the score field and 200 in the total marks field, and the calculator converts it automatically.

Using an older formula. Admission weightings and the way the MDCAT score is scaled are set by the admitting body for each cycle and have changed in past years. The standard formula here applies the MDCAT percentage directly; if a previous year's resource applies a separate scaling to the MDCAT score, use the current prospectus instead.

Assuming domicile quota seats use the same merit cutoff. Open merit seats and domicile or district quota seats have different closing merits at most colleges. Your aggregate is the same, but the merit list you appear on depends on your domicile certificate.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for the MDCAT aggregate?

Aggregate = (Matric percentage times 0.10) plus (FSc percentage times 0.40) plus (MDCAT percentage times 0.50). All three inputs must be percentages. If your MDCAT score is out of 200, divide by 200 and multiply by 100 to get the percentage first, or enter the raw score and total marks in the calculator.

What MDCAT aggregate is needed for MBBS in Punjab?

It changes every year and differs by college and seat category. The admitting university publishes closing merits with each merit list, so compare your aggregate with last year’s official list for the college you want. We do not show estimated ranges because we could not check them against official lists.

Does the same formula apply to BDS admission?

Yes. PM&DC’s Admissions Regulations 2025 set the same weighting for MBBS and BDS: Matric 10%, FSc 40%, MDCAT 50%. The MDCAT passing percentage differs: for 2025-26 PM&DC gave 52% for MBBS and 47% for BDS.

Do private medical colleges use the same formula?

Yes. PM&DC’s Admissions Regulations 2025 require private colleges to publish their merit criteria with the same weighting: MDCAT 50%, FSc 40%, Matric 10% (Regulation 5(2)). Colleges administered by the Armed Forces admit through NUMS and its own admission test.

What is the minimum MDCAT score to appear on merit lists?

PM&DC sets the MDCAT passing percentage. Its notification of 8 April 2026 gives 52% for MBBS and 47% for BDS for the 2025-26 session, and allowed admitting universities a one-time reduction of up to 3% to fill vacant seats. Candidates below the passing percentage are not eligible, whatever their Matric and FSc results. Check PM&DC’s notice for the current session.
