MDCAT aggregate
Enter your Matric, FSc and MDCAT marks. The calculator applies the PMDC 10, 40, 50 formula and shows the working. You can also work backwards from a target aggregate to the test percentage it needs.
The formula
(Matric% x 0.10) + (FSc% x 0.40) + (MDCAT% x 0.50)A planning estimate, not a seat guarantee. Closing merit changes with the year, province, college and quota.
Official PMDC format: the paper carries one mark per question, so your raw score is out of 180. Your MDCAT percentage is that score divided by 180, which contributes 50% to your merit. Treat the figure as a planning estimate, not a seat guarantee.
The calculator runs in your browser and does not save your marks. Check the current prospectus of the college you are applying to before you rely on a closing mark.

A higher aggregate does not guarantee a seat. The closing line moves with the year, the province, the college and the quota. Check the admitting university's latest merit list.

The method
The calculator is only as good as the rule behind it. Here is the rule, the divisor and the thresholds it checks against.
Medical and dental college admissions in Pakistan use the PMDC merit formula.
Aggregate = (Matric% x 0.10) + (FSc% x 0.40) + (MDCAT% x 0.50)The result is a planning estimate. Closing merit depends on the year, province, college and quota.
The paper has 180 questions and 180 marks: Biology 81, Chemistry 45, Physics 36, English 9 and Logical Reasoning 9. Your test percentage is your score divided by 180, times 100.
MDCAT% = (score / 180) x 100The paper format is set by PMDC. Check the current cycle notice before you rely on it.
PMDC sets the minimum for each cycle. A college can set a higher FSc requirement.
MBBS 55% | BDS 50%The FSc pre-medical minimum is 60%. Check the prospectus of the college you are applying to.

Questions
The formula, the divisor and the limits of the estimate.
The national aggregate uses three weights: 50% MDCAT, 40% FSc (HSSC Pre-Medical) and 10% Matric (SSC). Formula: (Matric% x 0.10) + (FSc% x 0.40) + (MDCAT% x 0.50). The result is a planning estimate, not a guarantee of a seat. Check the admitting university for its current policy.
The current MDCAT has 180 questions and 180 marks: Biology 81, Chemistry 45, Physics 36, English 9 and Logical Reasoning 9. Calculate your percentage as (your score / 180) x 100. A 200-mark divisor belongs to an older format.
PMDC sets the qualifying marks. The threshold is 55% in MDCAT for MBBS and 50% for BDS. FSc requirements are set by PMDC and the admitting university. The PMDC minimum is 60%, and a college can set a higher requirement. Check the current prospectus.
It takes your Matric and FSc marks and a target aggregate, then shows the MDCAT percentage the 50, 40, 10 formula would require. Use the result to plan a target score, not as a prediction of a seat.
Closing merit varies by province, college, quota and year. Each admitting university publishes its own merit list. Use the most recent official list as a benchmark, not as a promise for the next cycle.
Board by board
The formula is the same everywhere. The closing aggregates you must beat are not. Each board page carries its recorded closings and the portal that publishes the lists.
After the number
Once you know the percentage you need, the next question is which chapters are costing you marks. The free questions are a place to start.
Practise by chapter, read the worked explanation after each attempt, and let the planner turn the result into the next week.
