What the merit trend shows
KMSMC MBBS open-merit aggregates moved from 85.50% in 2022 to 86.85% in 2023, then to 89.15% in 2024 and 93.6273% in 2025. The 2025 figure crosses 93% for the first time in the series.
UHS builds the aggregate from 10% of SSC marks, 40% of HSSC marks and 50% of MDCAT marks. 1 The final figure is rounded to four decimal places. 1 The prospectus works two examples, one on a 200-mark MDCAT and one on a 180-mark MDCAT. 1 Compare sessions with care, because an equal percentage does not mean an equal raw score.
