Chances Predictor — Not Applicable
MDCAT is a national entrance exam used by multiple public medical colleges across Pakistan. Each college sets its own closing merit based on province, category (open merit, self-finance), and seats available. Use the Merit Calculator tab to calculate your aggregate, then check individual medical college merit lists published by PMDC/PMC.
Frequently Asked Questions about MDCAT (PMDC Medical & Dental Colleges)
How is the aggregate calculated for MDCAT (PMDC Medical & Dental Colleges)?
The calculator uses the official formula: 10% Matric / SSC / O-Level + 40% FSc Pre-Medical / HSSC / A-Level + 50% MDCAT Score. Each subject's marks are converted to a percentage and multiplied by the respective weight.
What do High, Medium, and Low chances mean?
🟢 High: Your aggregate meets or exceeds the historical average closing merit — strong chances of selection. 🟡 Medium: You are within 5% below the closing merit — competitive but not guaranteed. 🔴 Low: You are more than 5% below — chances are slim in open merit, but possible in self-finance or sports quota.
Is this prediction guaranteed?
No. Closing merits vary each year based on applicant pool, number of seats, and entry test difficulty. This tool uses historical data as a reference guide. Always apply regardless of your predicted chance!
What if my score is slightly below last year's merit?
Don't be discouraged! Merits fluctuate each year. Many students who were below the previous year's merit still secured admission when the merit dropped. Always submit your application and keep checking for updates on Taleem Guide.
Can I improve my aggregate for MDCAT (PMDC Medical & Dental Colleges)?
Your academic marks (Matric/FSc) are fixed, but if there's an entry test component, preparing well for it can significantly improve your aggregate. Focus on the component with the highest weight in the formula above.
