Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is “MDCAT Merit” or “Aggregate”?

Your merit (or aggregate) is the final percentage score used by medical & dental colleges in Pakistan to determine admission eligibility. It combines your academic performance (Matric & FSc) and your entry test (MDCAT) performance. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

What is the expected closing merit for 2025?

While closing merit varies by province, quota, college type (public vs private) and year, some sources expect it to be in the range of ~ 90% to 92% for highly-competitive government medical colleges. (Use this only as a rough guideline.)

Can I calculate my merit without Matric marks?

Yes — some medical admission policies **exclude** Matric marks (i.e., only FSc + Entry Test are considered) and use a formula like: FSc 50% + Entry Test 50%. Make sure to check your target college’s criteria. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Example Calculation

What total marks are used for MDCAT in 2025?

The total marks of the MDCAT/Entrance Test may vary by province/university. Many tools refer to 200 marks, but recent sources suggest an exam total of 180 for some systems. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Example Calculation

Imagine a student obtains:

Matric: 1000 / 1100 → ~ 90.91%
FSc: 950 / 1100 → ~ 86.36%
MDCAT: 160 / 200 → 80.00%

Using the formula (10% + 40% + 50%):

Matric contribution: 90.91% × 0.10 = 9.09
FSc contribution: 86.36% × 0.40 = 34.54
MDCAT contribution: 80.00% × 0.50 = 40.00

Total = 9.09 + 34.54 + 40.00 = 83.63%

Key Tips

Prioritise your MDCAT preparation — as it holds **50% weightage** in most cases.
FSc marks are also very important (≈ 40% weightage) — so don’t neglect board exam performance.
If your target college uses “no Matric” or “FSc50% + Entry Test50%” formula, ensure your calculator supports that option.
Always verify the **current official admission criteria** of your target college because formulas or minimum passing criteria can change. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
