STMU MBBS Prospectus 2025-26: Merit = STMU Entrance Test 30% + PM&DC MDCAT 50% + MMIs 20% (local category). Shortlisting for MMIs uses the first two parts, a score out of 80. Foreign category: relevant test 80% + interview 20%. You need 60% in HSSC and a passed MDCAT (55%). In 2025-26 the 4th MBBS merit list closed at 84.845 and the 8th BDS list at 72.500.
Calculate your STMU merit
Free · instant · no loginWeightages come from STMU’s MBBS Prospectus 2025-26 and the BS Clinical Psychology page. HSSC marks are an eligibility condition for MBBS / BDS (60%), not part of the merit. Enter MDCAT out of 180, or change the total to match your result card.
STMU MBBS & BDS Merit Formula: 30% + 50% + 20%
| Component | Local category | Foreign category |
|---|---|---|
| STMU Entrance Test for MBBS & BDS (Theory) | 30% | — |
| PM&DC MDCAT | 50% | — |
| Relevant test (MDCAT, SAT-II, foreign MCAT or UCAT) | — | 80% |
| Multiple Mini Interviews / interviews | 20% | 20% |
This table is on page 50 of STMU’s MBBS Prospectus 2025-26 ("as per PM&DC defined criteria"). STMU’s 2025-26 consolidated MBBS and BDS lists show the first two columns and a total "out of 80%". Shortlisted candidates then sit the MMIs for the final 20%.
Worked Example: Shifa MBBS Aggregate
| Component | Score | Percentage | Weight | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STMU entrance test | 86 / 100 | 86.00% | 30% | 25.80 |
| PM&DC MDCAT | 162 / 180 | 90.00% | 50% | 45.00 |
| Shortlisting score | 70.80 / 80 | |||
| MMI | 80 / 100 | 80.00% | 20% | 16.00 |
| Merit | — | — | — | 86.80 |
On STMU’s 2025-26 list, the top local candidate had 28 + 47.5 = 75.5 out of 80 before the MMI, and finished at 92.278.
Shifa MBBS and BDS Merit 2025-26
| STMU list (local category) | Aggregate |
|---|---|
| MBBS provisional merit list: no. 1 | 92.278 |
| MBBS 4th merit list of selected candidates (13 Jan 2026) | 85.056 – 84.845 |
| BDS 8th merit list of selected candidates (11 Feb 2026) | 72.700 – 72.500 |
Seats left unpaid by the fee deadline go to the next applicant on the waiting list. That’s why MBBS ran to four lists and BDS to eight.

Common STMU Merit Mistakes
- Adding Matric and FSc. STMU’s MBBS / BDS merit has no academic weight. HSSC 60% is only the eligibility bar.
- Using the 10 / 40 / 50 formula. That is the public-college formula, not Shifa’s.
- Skipping the STMU test. MDCAT alone isn’t enough for local seats. You must also pass the NTS-run STMU test.
- Ignoring the MMIs. 20% of merit comes from the interviews, so preparation matters.
