Punjab seat increase request

The Punjab Health Department on 10 June 2025 wrote to PM&DC requesting urgent approval of MBBS seat increases in new and existing Punjab medical colleges. The request, made before the MDCAT 2025 cycle, was intended to add seats to high-demand public colleges and to allow selected new colleges to admit their first batch of students.

What this means for Punjab admissions

Punjab has the largest pool of public medical college seats in Pakistan, with UHS administering the central merit list.
The Punjab Health Department request, if fully approved, would have added hundreds of seats to the public pool. PM&DC has approved selected increases, including the Gomal Medical College seat increase for the 2026 cycle.
