What is the FMDC merit formula 2026?

FMDC and SZABMU use 50% FSc + 50% MDCAT for federal MBBS admissions. Matric is not weighted.

Which MDCAT is accepted for FMDC?

FMDC accepts your provincial MDCAT (UHS, ETEA, Sindh-MDCAT or BUMHS) — there is no separate FMDC entry test.

FMDC Merit Calculator 2026 — Federal MBBS Aggregate (Free)

Calculate your Federal MBBS merit instantly. Formula: 50% FSc + 50% MDCAT. Used by SZABMU Islamabad to admit to Federal Medical College (FMC) and Federal Medical & Dental College (FMDC) on a national, all-province quota.

How FMDC / SZABMU Federal Merit Is Calculated

Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University (SZABMU) Islamabad admits to Federal Medical College (FMC) and the Federal Medical & Dental College (FMDC) on a federal quota that covers every province plus AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan. The formula is 50% FSc + 50% MDCAT — the same 50/50 weighting NUMS uses, but FMDC uses your provincial MDCAT score (UHS, ETEA, Sindh-MDCAT or BUMHS depending on your domicile) rather than the NUMS test.

Provincial Federal Quotas

FMDC seats are split across federal quotas: Punjab, Sindh (rural & urban), KPK, Balochistan, Islamabad Capital Territory, AJK, GB, FATA/merged districts and overseas Pakistanis. You compete only within your own quota; closing merits therefore differ by province.

Worked Example

FSc 985/1100 = 89.55% × 50 = 44.77
MDCAT 175/200 = 87.5% × 50 = 43.75
FMDC Aggregate = 88.52%
