MDCAT Aggregate Calculator
Your MDCAT score alone does not decide admission — it is combined with your Matric and FSc marks using a weighted formula that differs by admitting authority, and that formula moves between admission cycles. This calculator lets you enter your own marks against UHS, NUMS, KMU or Sindh weightages (or edit the weights yourself if your authority has published a different split) and see your aggregate instantly.

Formula weights and marks totals change between admission cycles and between provinces. The presets above are a starting point, not an official figure — always confirm the current formula with your admitting authority's prospectus before relying on this number.
Before you rely on this number
- These weightages move — Punjab (UHS) alone has changed its formula more than once in recent admission cycles. Always cross-check against the current prospectus of the authority you are applying to.
- Total marks for Matric and FSc vary by board — use the totals printed on your own result card (Federal boards often differ from provincial boards).
- This tool calculates the academic aggregate only. It does not account for provincial/domicile quotas, self-finance seats, or any additional criteria some universities apply.
Typical weightages by admitting authority
Starting points loaded into the calculator above — edit them if your authority has announced different figures for this cycle.
| Authority | Matric | FSc | Entry test |
|---|---|---|---|
| UHS (Punjab) | 10% | 40% | 50% (MDCAT) |
| NUMS | 10% | 15% | 75% (NUMS Entry Test) |
| KMU (KPK) | 10% | 50% | 40% (MDCAT) |
| Sindh (DUHS & others) | 10% | 40% | 50% (MDCAT) |
Worked examples for each authority
To see the formula in action, take a candidate who scored 85% in Matric, 82% in FSc and 78% in their entry test, and run the same three numbers through each authority's weightage.
UHS (Punjab) — 10% Matric, 40% FSc, 50% MDCAT: (85 × 0.10) + (82 × 0.40) + (78 × 0.50) = 8.5 + 32.8 + 39.0 = 80.3% aggregate.
NUMS — 10% Matric, 15% FSc, 75% NUMS Entry Test: (85 × 0.10) + (82 × 0.15) + (78 × 0.75) = 8.5 + 12.3 + 58.5 = 79.3% aggregate. Notice how much more the entry test itself decides the NUMS aggregate compared to UHS.
KMU (KPK) — 10% Matric, 50% FSc, 40% MDCAT: (85 × 0.10) + (82 × 0.50) + (78 × 0.40) = 8.5 + 41.0 + 31.2 = 80.7% aggregate. KMU leans harder on FSc marks than either UHS or NUMS.
Sindh (DUHS & others) — 10% Matric, 40% FSc, 50% MDCAT: same weights as UHS, so this candidate's Sindh aggregate is also 80.3%.
Same three scores, four different aggregates — which is exactly why checking your target authority's actual weightage matters more than comparing your MDCAT score alone against a friend applying elsewhere.
Frequently asked questions
How is the MDCAT aggregate calculated?+
Your Matric, FSc and MDCAT (or entry test) percentages are each multiplied by a weight, then added together. For example, under a 10/40/50 formula: (Matric% × 0.10) + (FSc% × 0.40) + (MDCAT% × 0.50).
Why does the formula differ between UHS, NUMS, KMU and Sindh?+
Each province and university runs its own admission process and sets its own weightages by notification. There is no single national aggregate formula — only a single national entry test (PMDC MDCAT) that most of them use as an input.
Does this calculator include quotas or domicile seats?+
No. It calculates your raw academic aggregate percentage only. Quota seats, self-finance seats and overseas/foreign seats follow separate merit lists that this tool does not model.
My authority changed its formula this year — what do I do?+
Select "Custom" and type in the weights from your authority's official notification or prospectus — the calculator will use whatever weights you enter.
What total are Matric and FSc marks usually out of?+
Most Pakistani boards mark Matric and FSc out of 1100 (SSC) and 1100 (HSSC) respectively, but this varies by board — use the total printed on your own result card.
Is this the same as an MDCAT merit calculator?+
Yes — "MDCAT calculator," "MDCAT aggregate calculator" and "MDCAT merit calculator" all refer to the same weighted-percentage tool on this page. Your aggregate percentage is what gets ranked against every other applicant to produce the merit list.
Can I use this as a NUMS aggregate calculator?+
Yes — select NUMS from the authority options above (or enter its 10/15/75 weightage manually) and the tool calculates your NUMS aggregate using the same formula, just with NUMS-specific weights.
