Overview
The School of Medicine, Dentistry and Allied Sciences is the medical school of Pak-Austria Fachhochschule: Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology (PAF-IAST) at Mang, Haripur. 2 The PMDC public medical register lists the school with 100 MBBS seats. 1
The register places the school under Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with city Haripur. 1 The register entry carries a court note. It reads that admissions are allowed for session 2026-27 under a court order dated 28.10.2026 in W.P. No. 1816-A/2026. 1
PAF-IAST is a chartered degree-granting institute, and its own Act sits on the institute site. 4 Our dataset records the school under the institute, not under KMU, because no admitting-university source names KMU for it.

History and growth
The school is a government project. A KPK government tender document records the establishment of the school at PAF-IAST, Mang Haripur, under ADP No. 835/260670 for 2026-27. 5
The institute site carries faculty hiring for the school across anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, community medicine, pathology, forensic medicine and the main clinical disciplines. 3
The Department of Medicine page on the institute site states that the school works within a 100-bed teaching hospital. 2 That page also lists professors, associate professors and senior registrars in post. 2
Our dataset records no founding year for the school. The PMDC register listed it in the checks we made on 14 November 2026 with the 2026-27 court allowance. 1

What the merit trend shows
Our dataset records no closing-merit history for this school. The first register entry we read carries the 2026-27 court allowance, so no merit series exists yet. 1
The PM&DC 2026 regulations set the national merit formula at MDCAT 50%, HSSC 40% and SSC 10%. 6 Public-sector admission calendars publish merit lists by 15 December under those rules. 6
Treat any merit figure quoted for this school as unverified until an official list appears. Watch the institute admissions page for the current session. 2
Admission process (MBBS)
The PM&DC 2026 regulations set the eligibility bar for every MBBS applicant in the country. 6 The school sits inside an institute with its own admissions portal. 2
- Pass MDCAT and score at least 60% in HSSC, with biology and chemistry as mandatory subjects. 6
- Check the institute admissions page for the MBBS cycle notice of the current session. 2
- Prepare your MDCAT result, HSSC and SSC certificates, domicile and CNIC or Form B. 6
- Rank the school in your KPK admission preferences if the session runs on the KMU portal. Check the channel on the institute site first. 2
- Read the fee structure page of the institute before you accept an offer. 2
- Keep the offer letter and the fee receipt, because the 2026-27 allowance is a court-order session. 1
Teaching hospital and clinical training
The Department of Medicine page states that the school works within a 100-bed teaching hospital. 2 Our dataset records no hospital name, because the page gives none.
The same page describes ward services, outpatient care and bedside teaching under faculty supervision. 2 The faculty list names professors and senior registrars in medicine. 2
The institute careers page shows hiring across surgery, paediatrics, obstetrics, ENT, ophthalmology, psychiatry, dermatology, nephrology, anaesthesia, intensive care and radiology for the school. 3 That spread covers the clinical rotations of an MBBS course.
Campus and facilities
The institute campus stands on Khanpur Road, Mang, Haripur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. 2 Haripur lies about 65 km from Islamabad on the route to Abbottabad.
PAF-IAST runs a green campus with a central library, research centres and a special technology zone on its site map. 24 The institute publishes an academic schedule and a timetable for its programmes. 2
Our dataset records no hostel information for the medical school. The institute hosts students from international partner programmes, so ask the admissions office about residence seats. 2
Recognition and standing
The PMDC public medical register lists the school with 100 MBBS seats. 1 The entry carries the court allowance for session 2026-27 dated 28.10.2026. 1
The register places the school in the public group, and the KPK government funds the establishment project. 15
PAF-IAST holds its own Act, which the institute publishes on its Act and Statutes page. 4 The school therefore works inside a chartered institute rather than under one of the provincial admitting universities.
A court-order session is not settled recognition. Read the current PMDC register entry before you accept a seat. 1
Student life
The institute site lists student societies and clubs across its faculties. 2 The medical school is the newest faculty, so its own societies are still forming.
The campus runs a central library, a quality enhancement cell and an events calendar shared across the institute. 24
Haripur city sits between Islamabad and Abbottabad, so weekend travel to both cities is short. Our dataset records no student-life detail specific to the medical school yet.

School of Medicine, Dentistry and Allied Sciences (PAF-IAST): closing merit
This record holds no closing aggregate for School of Medicine, Dentistry and Allied Sciences (PAF-IAST). No one has copied a published list into it, and it does not mean the college admits below the pass mark.
This is history, not a forecast. A closing aggregate moves with the number of seats and the number of applicants, so the next line is not your line. The 2026-11-14 filing carries what each admitting body published.
For the 2026-27 cycle, the merit list page records which list each admitting body has published and the date it checked it. The result comes from KMU admission lists.
To find where you stand against these numbers, use the aggregate calculator. It runs Matric, FSc and MDCAT marks through the 10 / 40 / 50 formula. The formula guide explains the tie-breakers after the fourth decimal. Every college in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa sits on the same columns, so you can compare this college with its neighbours in one view.

The calculator applies the 50/40/10 formula, so you can compare your number with the merit this college published.
