MDCAT Merit Formula -

MDCAT Merit Formula – Overview

The MDCAT Merit Formula is used to calculate a candidate’s overall aggregate for MBBS and BDS admissions in Pakistan. It combines marks from Matric (10th grade), FSc (Pre-Medical), and MDCAT exam according to the weightage set by the admitting university or provincial policy. This aggregate determines a student’s merit position and eligibility for public and private medical colleges.

Standard MDCAT Merit Calculation

While the exact weightage may vary by province or university, a common formula used is:

Matric (Secondary School) – 10%
FSc (Intermediate, Pre-Medical) – 50%
MDCAT – 40%

Aggregate Calculation Example:

$\text{Aggregate} = \left(\frac{\text{Matric Marks}}{\text{Total Matric Marks}} \times 10\right) + \left(\frac{\text{FSc Marks}}{\text{Total FSc Marks}} \times 50\right) + \left(\frac{\text{MDCAT Marks}}{\text{Total MDCAT Marks}} \times 40\right)$

Aggregate=(Total Matric MarksMatric Marks×10)+(Total FSc MarksFSc Marks×50)+(Total MDCAT MarksMDCAT Marks×40)

The result is the percentage aggregate used in merit lists for MBBS/BDS admissions.
