This announcement comes at a pivotal moment for thousands of pre-medical candidates competing for limited medical seats in Punjab.

With its strong academic reputation and specialized medical enrichment options, candidates are facing intense competition to confirm their eligibility and document verification.

 

 

Located on Shalimar Link Road in Lahore, the institution has consistently proven its academic excellence under the supervision of the University of Health Sciences. The college ranked first among all UHS-affiliated medical institutions with an outstanding overall pass percentage in the annual MBBS examinations. Furthermore, its students repeatedly secured top three positions, including 1st position in 2024, 2nd position in 2025, and 3rd position in 2023. Beyond standard medical curricula, the campus offers a unique Medical Enrichment Program in collaboration with LUMS.

Academic training at the campus emphasizes early research exposure alongside formal clinical studies. Undergraduate students receive direct mentorship from experienced faculty members, enabling them to present findings at international forums. Recent student milestones include winning the best poster award at the International Student Research Conference at Aga Khan University and securing top positions at competitive quiz events across Lahore. To support high-achieving candidates, the institute provides full merit scholarships for the 5-year MBBS program based on aggregate scores. Additionally, applicants holding admission offers from public sector medical colleges can compete for 100% tuition coverage, while an ongoing financial assistance program has already disbursed over PKR 21 million to eligible students.

 

 

Prospective students must submit their applications through the official UHS private MBBS online admission portal during the active registration window. Applicants are required to create a user profile, enter their academic credentials, and select their preferred institution choices. Candidates should carefully upload scanned copies of their Matriculation certificates, FSc Pre-Medical mark sheets, MDCAT result cards, and CNIC or B-Form. Ensuring all personal information matches official board documents is essential to prevent delays during processing.

 

 

Eligibility requires candidates to have passed the MDCAT examination alongside FSc Pre-Medical or an equivalent 12th-grade qualification with mandatory subjects in Biology and Chemistry. The final merit calculation follows the standardized weightage formula set by regulatory authorities: 50% weightage for MDCAT results, 40% for FSc Pre-Medical marks, and 10% for Matriculation scores. Candidates must fulfill all baseline percentage cutoffs established by the provincial admission committee to qualify for final selection lists.

 

 

Following the completion of candidate screening and document verification, the admitting university will release the provisional and final college-wise selection lists on its official web portal. Applicants featured on the merit list must deposit their required college admission fees within the specified timeframe to lock in their seat. Seats left vacant after the initial deadline will be offered to candidates on subsequent upgradation lists based on merit-cum-preference choices.

Students benefit from modern research laboratories, digital lecture halls, and comprehensive library resources. Campus provisions also include dedicated residential hostel accommodations for both male and female out-of-station students, alongside campus-managed transportation services along major urban routes.
