MBBS needs 55% (99 marks). BDS needs 50% (90 marks).
The conversion, and where it goes
The conversion is one step: percentage equals marks divided by 180, times 100. In symbols, that reads pct = (marks ÷ 180) × 100.
That percentage feeds the aggregate at 50% weight. The other 40% comes from HSSC (FSc Pre-Medical) and 10% from Matric, under the PM&DC regulations 2026, notified on 12 October 2026. The weighting is the same in public and private colleges.
Worked example: 135 marks is 75.00%. The aggregate takes 37.50 points from MDCAT. Add FSc at 40% and Matric at 10% to reach the number the merit list ranks on.

The pass marks, and what they do not promise
MBBS admission needs 55%, which is 99 of 180. BDS needs 50%, which is 90. In Punjab, 37,708 of 47,475 candidates who appeared reached 55% at the 2026 test.
Passing makes you eligible. It does not make you competitive: the closing aggregates sit far above the pass marks, and the merit list page carries last year’s certified closings.
