What the merit trend shows

The record holds self-finance MBBS aggregates for four years: 80.2 in 2022, 81.55 in 2023, 81.4 in 2024, and 84.5 in 2025.

MBBS gained 4.3 points across those four years. It dipped by 0.15 points in 2024, then rose by 3.1 points in 2025.

BDS followed the same path: 77.4, 78.7, 78.8, and 81.9. It also rose by 3.1 points in 2025. The BDS aggregate stayed 2.6 to 2.85 points below MBBS each year.

No year is missing from either series, so the trend rests on four straight sessions. The 2025 rise is the largest move in the record.

The 2023 and 2024 MBBS marks stayed within 0.2 points of each other. Both series carry the self-finance quota, so the numbers track the paid category. Treat 84.5 as the MBBS mark to beat and 81.9 for BDS. Leave a margin above those marks.
