A) Required Qualifications

For candidates seeking for admission against any category of seats, the HSSC/F.Sc (Pre-Medical) test from a Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education in Pakistan must have been passed with at least 60% unadjusted marks (660/1100).

OR

Succeeded in a test administered by a foreign university or board, subject to:

i) The Inter-Board Committee of Chairmen has determined that the test is equal to the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) (Intermediate levels) (IBCC). It will be the candidates' obligation to resolve their disputes with the IBCC, and they should only get an equivalency certificate from the IBCC to have their credentials recognised.

ii) The candidate's score in the HSSC equivalent test must be at least 660/1100 (60 percent) points, as determined by the methodology established by the Inter Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC).

iii) If an applicant has not taken and passed the Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Mathematics courses in his or her ninth, tenth, eleventh, or 12^th grade—or another comparable test accepted by the IBCC—then he or she will not be eligible for admission. He or she must have earned a passing grade in English at the O or A level.

iv) In accordance with Pakistan Medical and Dental Council regulations, IBCC's equivalence in the aforementioned terms will be acknowledged overall, and the candidate will be qualified for admission regardless of the study group specified on his or her equivalence certificate.

B) Entrance Test

The Punjab Entrance Test must be taken in order to be considered for admission against the Open Merit, Under-Developed Districts, Disabled, Cholistan, and Gilgit-Baltistan (Northern Areas) Seats for the current session.

C) Age Limit

The age requirement for admission to the MBBS/BDS programme has been eliminated by the Pakistan Medical & Dental Council. Medical and dental institutes do not have a minimum or maximum age requirement for admission.

Admission Procedure

(A) Calculation of Aggregate Percentage

i) The admissions procedure for public sector medical and dental institutions will begin in accordance with the announced schedule following the announcement of the Entrance Test's official results.

(ii) In accordance with Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) norms, the merit will be calculated based on the total percentage of applicants, which will be calculated by averaging the marks in the following ratio:

Matriculation (SSC or Equivalent) – 10%

HSSC/F.Sc (Premedical or Equivalent) – 40%

Entrance Test – 50%

(iii) The final percentage computation will be rounded to the nearest four decimal places.

(iv) If a candidate takes further HSSC/F.Sc examination attempts after two years have passed after clearing the SSC/Matriculation yearly examination, no points will be deducted.

(B) Submission of Admission Forms

i) To be eligible to apply for admission against Open Merit Seats in public sector medical/dental institutions of the Punjab and Reciprocal Seats in public sector colleges of KPK, Balochistan, and AJK, candidates must reside in any district of the Punjab and the Federal Capital Area (Islamabad). Additionally, they must get an overall score of 82 percent or better (excluding the Hifz-e-Quran scores) using the PMDC algorithm.

(ii) The qualified applicants will not get call letters for the submission of admission applications.

(iii) No application for admission will be accepted after the deadline for form submission.

If these applicants match the minimal eligibility requirements outlined in the prospectus, they must apply according to the timeline announced.

(iv) The merit list of admissions for the current year will not be in any way impacted by any Board's revision of the results or improvement of the marks after the admission form has been submitted. In other words, after the candidate has turned in his or her admission form, the amended marks certificate will not be accepted. Similarly, admissions to the current session will not be based on results that were announced after the forms were submitted.

(v) A candidate may only submit one application. If he or she submits further forms, the additional forms will be rejected.

(E) Selection and Admission of Candidates

i) The Admission Board will choose the applicant. The Admission Board's selection and admission judgments are conclusive.

(ii) The Chairman of the Admissions Committee is qualified to correct any inaccuracy or omission discovered in the Selection List.

(iii) In that order, merit, choice, and seat availability serve as the selection criteria for applicants for open merit seats.

(iv) The applicant who is older will be given precedence over the other for admission whenever two or more candidates are bracketed, i.e., they have precisely the same percentage after computation. In the event of a tie, the applicant with the higher Matriculation (SSC or equivalent) score would be given preference for admission.

(v) For open merit and reserved seats, separate Selection Lists must be created.

(vi) Within 10 days of the notification, you may file a complaint, if any, against the selection list. After then, no complaints will be considered.
