Pak Red Crescent Dental College

Our directory records a four-year BDS with 50 seats. The closing self-finance aggregate was 78.90% in 2024 and 82.00% in 2025. Applicants register on the UHS private BDS portal and rank colleges in preference order. ³

Pak Red Crescent Teaching Hospital is the shared clinical site. It stands on the same campus and holds 500 beds in the directory record. ² The hospital treats deserving patients without charge, and the parent college income supports that service. ¹

Pakistan created its Red Cross society on 20 December 1947. Governor-General Muhammad Ali Jinnah issued the Pakistan Red Cross Order and became its first president. ⁸ Parliament renamed the body the Pakistan Red Crescent Society in 1974. ⁸ The society belongs to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. ⁸ Its Lahore wing runs the college and the hospital. ¹

The society founded the parent college and its teaching hospital in 2012. ¹ Both stand on main Multan Road, about 48 km from Lahore. ¹ The college states a mission of healthcare for the underprivileged population. ¹ The dental wing followed inside that campus. It teaches on the same site as the medical wing and uses the same clinical facilities. ¹²

PMDC lists the parent college among the private medical colleges of Punjab with a seat allocation of 100 for MBBS. ⁴ The 2025-26 UHS notice places the parent college at number 20 among the private medical colleges for Punjab. ³

Pak Red Crescent Teaching Hospital opened in 2012 as a tertiary care teaching hospital. ² The PMDC register of recognised institutes attaches it to the college as an owned hospital. ⁶ The register entry also covers the dental services of the hospital. ⁶ The hospital holds a Punjab Healthcare Commission licence. ²

The parent college lists eight basic science departments on its site. ¹ Those departments teach the early years of the BDS course before students move to clinical work. ¹ The dental wing uses the same departments for its early years. ¹

Our directory records a four-year BDS for the dental wing. The campus facilities record lists a dental hospital, a phantom head skills laboratory, a maxillofacial clinic, a digital library and student hostels. The parent campus provides boarding and transport for both wings. ¹

The BDS self-finance closing aggregate moved from 78.90% in 2024 to 82.00% in 2025. The 2025 figure sits above the 2024 figure by more than three points. Both values come from the self-finance category of the wing.

UHS builds the aggregate from three parts: 10% SSC, 40% HSSC and 50% MDCAT. ⁷ The BDS route asks for at least 50% in MDCAT, against 55% for MBBS. ³⁷ The formula rounds the final aggregate to four decimals. ⁷

MDCAT total marks moved from 210 to 200 to 180 across recent sessions, so one percentage is not the same raw score in every row. The UHS merit annexure works one example on a 200-mark scale and a second on a 180-mark scale. ⁷
