NUMS Aggregate Calculator (MBBS and BDS Merit)

Work out your NUMS aggregate for MBBS and BDS from matric, FSc and NUMS MDCAT marks.

How the NUMS aggregate is calculated

The National University of Medical Sciences (NUMS) runs admissions for Army Medical College and its affiliated colleges, including the CMH medical colleges. Merit is based on 50% entrance test, 40% intermediate and 10% matric, the same weights PMDC sets for medical admissions. NUMS holds its own entrance test, separate from the national MDCAT.

Formula: aggregate = (matric % × 0.10) + (FSc % × 0.40) + (NUMS MDCAT % × 0.50).

NUMS merit weights for MBBS and BDS
Part Weight Marks used
Entrance test (NUMS MDCAT) 50% Score ÷ total test marks
Intermediate (FSc Pre-Medical) or equivalent 40% Obtained ÷ total
Matric (SSC) or equivalent 10% Obtained ÷ total

Worked example

Matric 950 out of 1,100, FSc 950 out of 1,100 and a NUMS MDCAT score of 150 out of 200:

  • Matric: 950 ÷ 1,100 × 10 = 8.64
  • Intermediate: 950 ÷ 1,100 × 40 = 34.55
  • NUMS MDCAT: 150 ÷ 200 × 50 = 37.50
  • Aggregate: 80.68%

How your test score changes the aggregate

NUMS aggregate at different test scores
NUMS MDCAT score 70% in Matric and Inter 80% in Matric and Inter 90% in Matric and Inter
50% (100 out of 200) 60.00% 65.00% 70.00%
60% (120 out of 200) 65.00% 70.00% 75.00%
70% (140 out of 200) 70.00% 75.00% 80.00%
80% (160 out of 200) 75.00% 80.00% 85.00%
90% (180 out of 200) 80.00% 85.00% 90.00%

Things to know

  • Total test marks: the calculator starts at 200. If your result card shows a different total, change the total marks box so the percentage is right.
  • NUMS and the national MDCAT: they are separate tests. For government and private colleges under PMDC, use the MDCAT aggregate calculator.
  • Awaiting result: candidates waiting for the Part II result can apply on FSc Part I marks.
  • Foreign tests: NUMS lists a valid MCAT or UCAT as alternatives to its own test for some applicants.

O Level and A Level students

Grades cannot be entered directly. Get your equivalence from IBCC first, then enter the equivalence marks and total in the Matric and Intermediate boxes.

What this estimate leaves out

  • Closing merit: your aggregate only tells you where you stand. Whether it is enough depends on the closing merit of the programme and campus, which changes every year.
  • Quotas and reserved seats: these are handled outside this formula.
  • Rule changes: universities can change their weights between admission cycles. Confirm the current formula on the university’s admissions page before you rely on the result.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate my NUMS aggregate?

Multiply your matric percentage by 0.10, your FSc percentage by 0.40 and your NUMS MDCAT percentage by 0.50, then add them.

What is the NUMS merit formula?

50% entrance test, 40% intermediate (FSc Pre-Medical) and 10% matric.

Is the NUMS test the same as the MDCAT?

No. NUMS holds its own entrance test for Army Medical College and its affiliated colleges. The national MDCAT is a separate test.

Is the NUMS formula the same as the MDCAT formula?

The weights are the same, 10/40/50. Only the test and its total marks differ.

How much does 10 test marks add to my NUMS aggregate?

With a 50% weight and 200 total marks, 10 marks add 2.5 points to the aggregate.

Can I apply to NUMS with FSc Part I marks?

Yes, candidates awaiting their final result can apply on the basis of Part I marks.
