Every year thousands of students in Pakistan compete for MBBS and BDS seats. Your place on the merit list depends on an aggregate built from three parts: your MDCAT score, your FSc (pre-medical) marks and your Matric marks.
How the aggregate works
Each part is converted to a percentage and multiplied by its weight, then the three results are added. In recent admission cycles a common split has given MDCAT the largest share (for example 50%), followed by FSc (for example 40%) and Matric (for example 10%). Weights can change from session to session, so always check the latest PMDC and university notification.
Worked example
Suppose a student has Matric 1,050/1,100, FSc 1,000/1,100 and MDCAT 160/200, with weights of 10/40/50:
- Matric: 1,050 ÷ 1,100 = 95.45% × 0.10 = 9.55
- FSc: 1,000 ÷ 1,100 = 90.91% × 0.40 = 36.36
- MDCAT: 160 ÷ 200 = 80.00% × 0.50 = 40.00
Aggregate ≈ 85.91%
Calculate yours
- Open the MDCAT Aggregate Calculator.
- Enter obtained and total marks for Matric, FSc and MDCAT.
- Check that the weights match the current policy, and edit them if needed.
- See your aggregate instantly, with the working shown.
Estimating your chances
- Compare your aggregate with the previous year’s closing merit for your preferred colleges.
- Remember closing merits change every year with the number of applicants and seats.
- Before MDCAT, try different scores to see what you need to reach your target.
