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+.

What aggregate do I need for MBBS in Punjab in 2026?
Based on 2024-25 closing merits, you need at least 94.40% aggregate for any Punjab government MBBS seat (open merit). For top colleges like KEMU you need 96%+, for AIMC 95.6%+, and for mid-tier colleges (RMU, NMU, FJMU) around 94.7-94.8%.
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.
