MDCAT Aggregate Calculator 2026: The Reported Formula, Worked Examples and What to Verify

An MDCAT aggregate calculator adds your matric, FSc and MDCAT marks into one percentage. According to the private test-prep company Maqsad, the split is 10% matric, 40% FSc and 50% MDCAT, with the MDCAT marked out of 180. Weekly Pakistan has not yet confirmed this weighting against a PMDC notification or a 2026-27 admission prospectus. Use the steps below to estimate your aggregate, then check it against the official rules before you apply.

The formula, as Maqsad publishes it

Maqsad's aggregate calculator page (marked "Last updated: 15 June 2026") gives the calculation in three parts:

• Matric (SSC) part = (marks obtained ÷ total marks) × 10
• FSc part = (marks obtained ÷ total marks) × 40
• MDCAT part = (MDCAT score ÷ 180) × 50

Aggregate = matric part + FSc part + MDCAT part.

The same page says PMDC sets this formula and that it applies to Punjab, Sindh, KP, Balochistan and Federal admissions. It adds that universities may also apply domicile, quota seats or interviews. We have not been able to confirm any of these points with PMDC or a provincial admitting university.

How to calculate your aggregate: step by step

1. Get your matric marks. Take the marks obtained and the total marks exactly as printed on your result card.
2. Divide, then multiply by 10. This gives your matric part.
3. Get your FSc marks. Again, use the obtained and total marks from your result card. Do not assume a total.
4. Divide, then multiply by 40. This gives your FSc part.
5. Take your MDCAT score. Divide it by 180, then multiply by 50. Only use 180 if your MDCAT 2026 result is out of 180. If your paper had a different total, use that total instead and note that the formula needs checking.
6. Add the three parts. The result is your estimated aggregate out of 100.
7. Round only at the end. Rounding each part early can shift your final figure slightly.

If you prefer not to do the division by hand, our Percentage Calculator works out each percentage. You can also try the Merit Calculator. Either way, treat the answer as an estimate until you confirm the formula.

Worked examples

These examples are our own arithmetic. They are correct only if the 10/40/50 formula and the 180-mark MDCAT total apply to your admission.

Example 1

Example 2

The second student has lower FSc marks but a higher aggregate. That is because, under this formula, the MDCAT carries the most weight.

Why the MDCAT matters most under this formula

If the 10/40/50 split applies, each MDCAT mark is worth about 0.28 aggregate points (50 ÷ 180). With a 1200-mark FSc total, each FSc mark is worth about 0.03 points (40 ÷ 1200). In other words, one MDCAT mark moves your aggregate roughly as much as eight or nine FSc marks.

This explains why small differences in MDCAT scores can change a merit position. It also means a wrong MDCAT total in your sum will throw your estimate off more than any other mistake.

A-Level and foreign qualification students

Maqsad's page says A-Level students should convert their grades to FSc-equivalent marks using an IBCC equivalence certificate. We have not confirmed how admitting universities apply that conversion for 2026-27. Use the marks on your IBCC certificate in the FSc step, and check the prospectus for any extra rule.

What is still unconfirmed

We could not verify the following against PMDC or the UHS 2026-27 prospectus. Do not rely on any calculator, including ours, for these points:

• Whether the 10/40/50 weighting is still current for the 2026-27 session, and which PMDC regulation or notification sets it.
• Whether the MDCAT 2026 paper is out of 180 marks.
• Whether UHS or other provincial universities add extra marks (for example, for Hafiz-e-Quran) or use tie-breaking rules.
• How improved or supplementary FSc results are counted, and what happens if your FSc result is pending.
• The MDCAT 2026 pass mark and validity period, and the 2026-27 application dates and fees.
• Past closing merits for any college. We are not publishing figures until we have a UHS or university source.

How to verify before you apply

1. Check PMDC's official website for the MDCAT 2026 notification and the admission regulations that set the aggregate formula.
2. Read your admitting university's 2026-27 MBBS/BDS prospectus. In Punjab, that is UHS. Look for the aggregate formula, any extra marks and the tie-breaking rules.
3. Compare their formula with the one above. If anything differs, follow the official document.
4. Recalculate with your exact result-card figures. Keep a copy of your working.
5. Check past closing merits only from official merit lists published by the admitting university.

For Punjab admissions, our UHS Merit List 2026 guide covers what to check once lists are released.

Key Takeaways

• Test-prep site Maqsad says the aggregate is 10% matric, 40% FSc and 50% MDCAT, with the MDCAT out of 180.
• Weekly Pakistan has not yet confirmed this formula with PMDC or UHS for 2026-27.
• Under that formula, one MDCAT mark is worth roughly eight to nine FSc marks.
• Use the exact totals from your result cards, and round only at the end.
• Confirm the formula, extra marks and deadlines in the official prospectus before you apply.
