What makes the UHS paper different
From 2008 to 2018 the Punjab paper asked 220 questions on a 210-minute clock, with 219 in 2010 and in 2015. The 2019, 2022 and 2024 papers hold 200 questions each, 2023 holds 198, and the 2025 and 2026 papers are the first at 180 questions in 180 minutes.
2026 is a recalled paper. UHS did not release it, so the archive holds 237 questions: 200 deduplicated recalls plus 37 from the pre-medical session. A disputed question on this paper is a recall, not an official key.
2017 holds the original and a reconduct. Both are kept because they are different papers, and the table marks the reconduct.
