NUMS aggregate calculator
NUMS applies 10% Matric, 40% FSc and 50% entry test, but the test is its own NUMS MDCAT, not the national one. It is marked out of 200 — Paper I is 150 academic MCQs and Paper II is 50 psychological questions — with no negative marking. NUMS admissions apply only to Armed Forces–administered medical and dental colleges.

How this calculation works
An admission aggregate converts each of your results into a percentage, multiplies it by the weight the institution assigns to it, and adds the weighted figures together. The weights are set by the admitting authority and are not negotiable — they are what makes one university's merit list rank candidates differently from another's.
National University of Medical Sciences (NUMS) uses 10% Matric + 40% FSc + 50% NUMS MDCAT for MBBS / BDS in Formula last confirmed: session 2025–26. The calculator applies exactly those weights, shows the arithmetic for every component, and checks any hard eligibility floors separately — because a candidate can post a competitive aggregate and still be rejected for missing a minimum.
Steps the calculator follows
- Normalise each component to a percentage: marks obtained ÷ total marks.
- Multiply that percentage by the component's weight.
- Add every weighted contribution together.
- Compare each gated component against its eligibility floor.
Rules and exceptions that apply
- Test year vs admission session: NUMS MDCAT 2026 is the entry test used for the session 2026–27 intake, but the 10/40/50 weighting shown here is confirmed only for session 2025–26. Treat the formula as provisional for 2026–27 until NUMS publishes its new centralized admission policy.
- Passing the NUMS MDCAT does NOT mean admission. The pass mark is an eligibility gate; admission depends on your aggregate rank against every other applicant and the seats available in your route.
- NUMS conducts its OWN test, branded 'NUMS MDCAT' — it is not the PMDC National MDCAT. PMDC treats it as at par, but valid only for admission to Armed Forces–administered colleges.
- IMPORTANT — unresolved: the NUMS advertisement states 'Entrance Test 50%' and the Table of Specifications gives a grand total of 200 marks (150 academic + 50 psychological), but neither official document states whether the aggregate uses the /200 grand total or only the /150 academic paper. CalcuPK defaults to /200 and leaves the total editable. Confirm with NUMS before relying on the figure.
- The NUMS MDCAT is held on a different date from the national MDCAT.
Formula
Aggregate = Σ (component percentage × component weight)
| Component | Weight | Default total |
|---|---|---|
| Matric / SSC | 10% | 1100 |
| FSc / HSSC (Pre-Medical) | 40% | 1100 |
| NUMS MDCAT (entrance test) | 50% | 200 |
Eligibility floors (checked separately from merit)
- HSSC minimum 60% — NUMS applies the PMDC eligibility floor of 60% in HSSC / FSc (Pre-Medical).
- NUMS MDCAT pass mark 55% (MBBS) — The NUMS MDCAT pass mark is 55% for MBBS (Medical) and 50% for BDS (Dental).
Why your actual result may differ
Totals vary between boards, equivalence certificates change the marks used, and admission policies are revised between cycles. Quotas, category seats, campus choice and the strength of a given year's applicant pool all affect whether an aggregate is enough. This calculator produces your score under the published formula — it does not predict admission.
Worked examples
These are computed by the same engine that powers the calculator above, so they can never drift out of step with it.
A typical applicant
Strong board results with a mid-range entry-test score — the most common shape of application.
| Component | Calculation | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Matric / SSC | 935 ÷ 1100 × 10% = 8.5 | 8.500 |
| FSc / HSSC (Pre-Medical) | 880 ÷ 1100 × 40% = 32 | 32.000 |
| NUMS MDCAT (entrance test) | 140 ÷ 200 × 50% = 35 | 35.000 |
| Aggregate | 75.5000% |
Eligible. Clears every eligibility gate: HSSC minimum 60%; NUMS MDCAT pass mark 55% (MBBS).
Exactly on the eligibility floor
Every gated component sits precisely on its minimum. This is the case where rounding decides whether an application is accepted at all.
| Component | Calculation | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Matric / SSC | 660 ÷ 1100 × 10% = 6 | 6.000 |
| FSc / HSSC (Pre-Medical) | 660 ÷ 1100 × 40% = 24 | 24.000 |
| NUMS MDCAT (entrance test) | 110 ÷ 200 × 50% = 27.5 | 27.500 |
| Aggregate | 57.5000% |
Eligible. Clears every eligibility gate: HSSC minimum 60%; NUMS MDCAT pass mark 55% (MBBS).
Strong marks, still ineligible
Excellent board results but an entry-test score just under the pass mark. The aggregate looks competitive and the application still fails, which is why eligibility is checked separately from merit.
| Component | Calculation | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Matric / SSC | 1012 ÷ 1100 × 10% = 9.2 | 9.200 |
| FSc / HSSC (Pre-Medical) | 1012 ÷ 1100 × 40% = 36.8 | 36.800 |
| NUMS MDCAT (entrance test) | 104 ÷ 200 × 50% = 26 | 26.000 |
| Aggregate | 72.0000% |
Not eligible. The NUMS MDCAT pass mark is 55% for MBBS (Medical) and 50% for BDS (Dental).
Admission process and documents
A typical route to admission. Exact steps, documents and dates are set by the institution each cycle — always confirm on the official portal.
Selection steps
Documents you usually need
- Matric / SSC certificate and detailed marks certificate
- Intermediate / HSSC certificate and detailed marks certificate (Part-I where required)
- Entry-test result card
- CNIC or B-Form
- Domicile certificate
- Recent passport-size photographs
- IBCC equivalence certificate for O/A-Level candidates
Eligibility beyond the formula
- Meet the minimum marks and subject combination for your programme before merit is considered.
- Entry-test scores are usually valid for a limited period — check the current cycle's rule.
Timeline. Application, test and merit-list dates are set each admission cycle by the university. Confirm the current schedule on the official portal — last year's dates do not carry over.
Historical merit trends
No verified historical merit published here yet.
Closing merit is one of the most misquoted numbers in Pakistani admissions, and figures circulating on coaching and forum sites frequently conflict. CalcuPK will only publish closing-merit figures read directly from an official university merit list, with the source linked. Until then, use your calculated aggregate as a guide and check the merit lists your target university publishes each year.
Common mistakes
- Entering a national MDCAT score out of 180 into the NUMS calculator, which expects 200.
- Assuming a NUMS score can be used for provincial public-sector medical admissions.
- Treating the /200 denominator as settled — NUMS has not published which total feeds the aggregate.
- Using FSc Part-I marks — NUMS uses your full HSSC aggregate for the academic component.
Key terms
- Admission aggregate
- A single percentage that combines your Matric, Intermediate and entry-test marks using the weights a university publishes. It is used to rank applicants on a merit list.
- Closing merit
- The aggregate of the last candidate admitted to a programme in a given year. It is set by supply and demand each cycle and is not a fixed pass mark.
- Weightage
- The share of the admission aggregate assigned to a component, such as 50% to the entry test. Weightages differ sharply between universities.
