History
The Government of Punjab founded the college to strengthen medical education in the Narowal region. 1 Records of the founding year differ. Our profile field states 2024, and the UHS prospectus states March 2025. This page keeps both records in view.

What the merit trend shows
The dataset records one open-merit aggregate for this college: 93.5091% for 2025. One session of data stands on this page, so read it as the entry bar of a single year.
The aggregate follows the UHS formula: 50% MDCAT, 40% HSSC and 10% SSC. 2 UHS rounds the result up to four decimal places. 2
Read the scale before you compare years. The MDCAT mark scale moved from 210 marks to 200 marks and then to 180 marks across recent sessions. One percentage point is not one raw mark in every row.
