Matric or equivalent:                                      10 percent

FSc or HSSC (pre-medical or equivalent):      40 percent

MCAT test:                                                      50 percent

Formula for calculating merit is given below:

>>First Step

Obtained marks in matric divided by Total marks of matric or Equivalent x 1100 x 0.10 = 10 percent of SSC

>>Second Step

Obtained Marks in HSSC divided by Total marks of HSSC or equivalent x 1100 x 0.40 = 40 percent of HSSC

>>Third Step

Obtained Marks in Entrance Test / MCAT divided by Total marks of Entrance Test / MCAT x 1100 x 0.50 = 50 percent of Admission Test

>>Fourth Step

10 percent SSC + 40 percent HSSC +50 percent Admission Test = Aggregate Marks

>>Fifth Step

Aggregate Marks divided by 1100 x 100 = Aggregate Percentage
