Medical college admission in Pakistan is decided by an aggregate formula combining three components — not by MDCAT score alone. Here's how it typically works.
The Standard Weightage
The commonly used formula (confirm the current year's exact weightage with your provincial admission board, since this can be updated) weights components roughly as: Matric 10%, FSc (or equivalent) 40%, and MDCAT 50%. Some provinces and specific universities apply variations, so always check the current official notification before finalizing your calculation.
A Worked Example
A student with 87% Matric, 85% FSc, and 75% MDCAT would calculate:
(87×0.10) + (85×0.40) + (75×0.50) = 8.7 + 34 + 37.5 = 80.2%
Why MDCAT Carries the Most Weight
Because MDCAT typically carries the heaviest weightage, it has the largest impact on your final aggregate — a modest improvement on a retake often moves your aggregate more than an equivalent improvement anywhere else, since Matric and FSc percentages are usually already fixed by the time you're calculating this.
Conclusion
Since exact weightages can shift between admission cycles, always verify the current formula with your provincial admission authority before finalizing any calculation. Our Aggregate Calculator lets you enter the exact current weightages and get your precise aggregate instantly.
