UHS Formula to calculate MCAT Merit 2015-16

Formula for calculation of merit

(i) The merit shall be worked out as per the regulations of Pakistan Medical and
Dental Council (PMDC), and shall be based on the aggregate percentage of the
candidates worked out by adding the marks in the following ratio:

Matriculation (SSC or Equivalent) – 10%
HSSC/F.Sc (Premedical or Equivalent) – 40%
Entrance Test – 50%

(ii) The Formula for calculation of merit is as follows:

Step – I

Marks obtained in SSC /Equivalent x 1100 x 0.10 = 10% of SSC/Equivalent
Total marks of SSC/Equivalent

Step – II

Marks obtained in HSSC /Equivalent x 1100 x 0.40 = 40% of HSSC/Equivalent
Total marks of HSSC/Equivalent

Step – III

Marks obtained in Entrance Test /SAT II/MCAT x 1100 x 0.50 = 50% of Admission Test
Total marks of Entrance Test /SAT II/MCAT

Step – IV

10% SSC/Equivalent + 40% HSSC/Equivalent +50% Admission Test = Aggregate Marks

Step – V

Aggregate Marks x 100 = Aggregate Percentage
1100
Example 1 :
Marks obtained in Matriculation = 992 / 1050
Marks obtained in HSSC/FSc = 980 / 1100
Marks obtained in Entrance Test = 970 / 1100
By applying the aforementioned formula:
992 / 1050 x 1100 x 0.10 = 103.92
980/1100 x 1100 x 0.40 = 392
970/1100 x 1100 x 0.50 = 485
Aggregate Marks = 103.92 + 392 + 485 = 980.92
Aggregate Percentage = 980.92 / 1100 x 100 = 89.1745

Example 2 (For Overseas / Dual Nationality Holders Seats):
Equivalence of O-Level = 812/900
Equivalence of A-Level = 925/1100
SAT II Score = 2100/2400
812/900 x 1100 x 0.10 = 99.24
925/1100 x 1100 x 0.40 = 370
2100/2400 x 1100 x0.50 = 481.25
Aggregate Marks = 99.24 + 370 + 481.25 = 950.49
Aggregate Percentage = 950.49/1100 x 100 = 86.4081
(iii) Final calculation in percentage will be rounded up to four decimal points.
