UHS builds the aggregate from three parts: 10% SSC, 40% HSSC and 50% MDCAT. ⁸ Every part enters the formula as a percentage of the marks you score. The UHS session 2025-26 document states this formula for the private colleges. ⁸

Our dataset records these closing self-finance aggregates for MBBS: 80.85% in 2022, 82.4% in 2023 and 82.8% in 2024. The 2025 value rises to 85.9%. BDS moved from 78.0% in 2022 to 83.1% in 2025.

Every recorded row carries the self-finance quota label. Compare sessions with care. The MDCAT mark scale changed between 2021 and 2025, so the same percentage does not mean the same raw score in every row.
