Closing merit history
Aggregate percentage for the last candidate admitted in each year. Public colleges report open-merit; private colleges report the self-finance pool.
What the merit trend shows
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: 84.5% in 2022, 85.5% in 2023 and 82.0% in 2024. The 2025 value rises to 85.1%. The only recorded BDS closing aggregate is 82.0% 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.

Common questions
How do I apply to Aziz Fatimah?
