Open Merit CalculatorMDCAT 2026 — Expected Closing Merit for Punjab MBBS
The MDCAT 2026 exam was held on 20 September 2026 and results have been announced. Punjab merit lists are compiled by UHS after the MDCAT result, using the same 50/40/10 aggregate (MDCAT 50%, FSc 40%, Matric 10%). Final 2026 closing merits will only be known once UHS publishes its selection lists.
The best guide until then is the last two sessions. Over 2024-25 and 2025-26, every Punjab government college closed between 94.40% and 96.06%. KEMU, AIMC and SIMS have closed highest in the verified era; the newer colleges such as DGKMC, SZMC and SMC have closed lowest. The “Expected 2026 range” column in the table above shows each college’s range across those two sessions.
A harder MDCAT paper lowers closing merits across the board, as in 2021-22; an easier paper raises them, as in 2024-25. Use the MDCAT merit calculator to compute your own aggregate, then compare it with the range for each college. Solve the MDCAT 2026 paper with answer key to check your expected MDCAT score first.

Merit CalculatorPunjab MBBS Merit Trends — What the Data Shows
Closing aggregates have risen steadily since 2008, with three notable patterns visible in the table above:
- UHS to PMC transition (2019-2020): When the Pakistan Medical Commission replaced the University of Health Sciences MCAT with the standardised MDCAT in 2020, closing merits jumped roughly 2-3 percentage points across all colleges due to easier scoring patterns.
- The 2021-22 dip: A harder MDCAT 2021 paper pulled KEMU's closing merit down from 94.62 (2020-21) to 91.50 (2021-22) — the only year-on-year drop of this magnitude in the table.
- 2024-25 record highs: KEMU crossed 96% for the first time, and even the lowest-merit Punjab government college (DGKMC) closed above 94%. This was driven by an easier MDCAT 2024 paper and a larger candidate pool scoring 170+.

Why did MDCAT merits jump in 2024-25?
The 2024-25 closing merit jumped because the MDCAT 2024 paper was considered relatively easier and more candidates scored 170+ in MDCAT, pushing aggregates higher across all colleges. KEMU rose from 93.70 (2023-24) to 96.06 (2024-25).
Are these merit figures verified?
PMC MDCAT era figures (2020-2026) are verified from official UHS and PMC merit lists. UHS MCAT era figures (2008-2019) are mostly approximate estimates because official merit lists from that period are no longer publicly available. Verified rows are shown in normal text; estimates are shown in italic gray.
