What the merit trend shows

NUMS builds the aggregate from three parts: 10% SSC, 40% HSSC and 50% marks in the NUMS entry test. 5 Every part enters the formula as a percentage of the marks you score. The NUMS advertisement states this formula for the armed forces colleges. 5

Our dataset records these closing self-finance aggregates for MBBS: 83.9% in 2024 and 87.1% in 2025. The 2025 value is 3.2 points above the 2024 value.

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. Read each college row against the same formula. 5
