What the merit trend shows
GMC open-merit aggregates rose in each of the last four sessions. The closing aggregate moved from 81.55% in 2022 to 82.95% in 2023. It then reached 87.80% in 2024 and 93.41% in 2025. The rise runs across four sessions without a break.
The 2025 self-finance line closed at 92.61%. It sits 0.80 points below the open-merit figure for the same year. The gap marks self-finance candidates who sat just under the open-merit line. KMU sets 31 December as the last date for open-merit MBBS admission. 3
KMU sets the aggregate with three components: 50% MDCAT, 40% HSSC and 10% SSC. 3 The 2025-26 open-merit list displays MDCAT marks out of 180. 6 KMU breaks a tie on age, then matric marks, then entry-test marks. 3 Read older rows with care. The MDCAT scale changed from 210 to 200 and then to 180 across years. One percentage therefore does not equal one raw score in every row.
