MDCAT result 2026 — what to do based on your score
Aggregate 88%+ (competitive for top government colleges):
- Apply immediately to all Punjab public medical colleges through the UHS centralized admissions portal
- Register NUMS at nums.edu.pk if not already done
- Track UHS merit lists at uhs.edu.pk — the first list comes after the online application deadline
- Confirm your seat immediately when merit list comes — the fee must be deposited within three working days
Aggregate 80–88% (district/general public colleges or top private):
- Apply to public medical colleges — you may qualify for district quota seats or lower-merit public colleges like QAMC Bahawalpur, Nishtar Multan
- Add private medical colleges to your preferences — under the Punjab 2026-27 policy, UHS runs one central admission process for both public and private colleges, and there is no limit on the number of private colleges you can list
- Calculate if repeating MDCAT 2027 can realistically push you to 88%+ and make that decision within the first week
Aggregate below 80% or failed MDCAT (below 55%):
- Consider whether to repeat MDCAT in 2027 — the registration schedule will be announced by PMDC and UHS
- Explore Pharm-D or DVM as alternative healthcare degrees — these do not require MDCAT; check each university’s own admission criteria. See our IUB Pharm-D admission 2026 guide
- Check BS Nursing — does not require MDCAT, excellent scope in 2026. See our BS Nursing scope in Pakistan 2026 guide

How do I check MDCAT result 2026 by roll number?
Punjab students check MDCAT result 2026 at uhs.edu.pk → Results → MDCAT Result 2026 → enter roll number and CNIC. Sindh students check at duhs.edu.pk, KPK students at kmu.edu.pk, and all students can also check at pmdc.pk. Your MDCAT roll number is on your admit card — keep it safe until after admission is confirmed. If you lose your roll number, use the admittance card download on the UHS website or contact UHS through its official helpline listed on uhs.edu.pk.
What happens if I fail MDCAT result 2026?
Failing the MDCAT result 2026 (scoring below 55% for MBBS eligibility) means you cannot apply for MBBS or BDS admissions in the 2026–27 cycle. You can retake MDCAT in 2027, and reports on the 2026-27 policy state that an MDCAT score stays valid for three years. Alternatively, consider Pharm-D, DVM or BS Nursing, which do not require MDCAT — each university sets its own admission criteria. Students who failed MDCAT should analyze their subject-wise scores to identify preparation gaps before the 2027 cycle. See our MDCAT syllabus 2026 guide for subject-wise preparation strategy.
How are UHS merit lists prepared after MDCAT result 2026?
After MDCAT result 2026, UHS collects all applicants’ PMDC aggregate scores (calculated from Matric 10% + FSc 40% + MDCAT 50%) and ranks them from highest to lowest. This ranked list becomes the UHS merit list. Seats are allocated by program, college, province/domicile, and category (open merit, district quota, minority quota, etc.). Under the 2026-27 policy, UHS prepares college-wise selection lists digitally from each candidate’s merit and college preferences, so a college you did not list cannot admit you. Selected students must deposit the fee within three working days of the merit list, and seats left vacant are filled in later lists. Monitor uhs.edu.pk regularly for the official schedule.
Can I apply to private medical colleges with MDCAT result 2026?
Yes. In Punjab, the 2026-27 admission policy makes UHS responsible for one central admission process for both public and private medical and dental colleges, using the same MDCAT 50% + FSc 40% + Matric 10% aggregate. You list private colleges as preferences in your UHS application, with no limit on how many you can choose. Private college fees are set under PMDC rules and are published in the UHS prospectus. Outside Punjab, private colleges follow their own province’s admission process, so check the relevant university portal. See our UHS MBBS admission 2026-27 guide for the preference rules.
