There is a hefty difference in PUBLIC and PRIVATE MEDICAL COLLEGES fees of Punjab, Islamabad and other province here we'll tell you about public and private colleges of Lahore, their fees , seats and merit criteria.
Lahore is a historical city and a provincial Capital
of Punjab, Pakistan which hospitable many students from Pakistan and abroad in
its spacious Colleges and Universities. Other than traditional education,
Lahore has many renowned and up to the mark Public and Private Medical Colleges
and Universities that fabricate outstanding MBBS and BDS doctors every year.
These medical colleges also provide hostel facilities for the students outside
Lahore. Most of Public & Private medical colleges in Lahore are affiliated
with PMDC and UHS (University of Health Sciences).
According to the policy of PMDC, an entry test
result is mandatory along with above 70% HSSC marks to make merit and to get
admission in any private or public medical college in Pakistan. These entry
tests which are also referred as MDCAT are conducted through relative
Universities like UHS, NUMS etc in different centers in Pakistan July and
August every year. The forms of MDCAT can be manually attained from offices or downloaded
from UHS, NUMS websites and submit after depositing fees Rs 3000/-.
A MBBS.
Degree from any Public medical colleges’ is not only affordable in terms of
fees but grabs more respect and confidence at the time of practical field as
Public medical colleges amass cream of students by stopping their merits above
90% every year. The students who can’t
get admission in public medical colleges look towards private medical colleges
for admissions. The merit of Private medical colleges falls between 70%-90%. Private medical colleges and Universities are
putting their utmost efforts to build competent doctors but they’re very
expensive to afford by middle class even.
Here is a list of Public & Private medical colleges in Lahore.
First we’ll tell you the public medical colleges and
Universities of Lahore that are affiliated with PMDC, HEC and UHS along with
the number of total seats and expected merit for 2020-2021.

MERIT OF MEDICAL COLLEGES
Anyone can observe that about 1350 seats are
available just in Lahore out of total 3400 seats in Punjab. The merit of public
medical colleges is above 90% and private medical colleges are between 70%-90%.
If a student attains above 1050 marks out of 1100 in HSSC and attains above 185
marks out of 200 in MDCAT entry test then he/she has fair chances to get
admission in any of public medical college in Lahore & Pakistan.
The merit of
Public colleges is too high. If any student is lucky to attain above 90% marks
in HSSC or A-level then he/she may lack in entry test and similarly, sometimes
a very good result of MDCAT entry test is not compatible with FSc, A-level Or SAT
2 marks of a candidate. Then many students fail to get admission in public medical
colleges. A decade before, it was a dream to achieve the goal “to become a doctor”
and we observed many young students to get depressed for not having any choice
other than of public medical colleges, but the situation is different now.
Here is a list of Private colleges in Lahore.
- CMH Lahore medical & Dental College
This private college is affiliated with NUMS and
conduct entry test through NUMS.
Other Private medical colleges are which are
affiliated with PMDC & HEC are:
- Lahore medical and Dental College LMDC
- Akhtar Saeed Medical and Dental College, Lahore
- Avicenna Medical College, Lahore
- Shalamar Medical and Dental College, Lahore
- Fatima memorial Hospital, FMH Medicine & Dentistry, Lahore
- University College of medical & dentistry UCMD
- Rahbar Medical College
- Central Park medical college, Lahore
- Continental medical college
- Pak Red Crescent medical & Dental College
- Sharif medical & Dental College, Lahore
Private medical colleges are a sign of relief for
those hard working candidates to fulfill their dream to become a doctor and they
couldn’t get admission in Govt/public medical colleges. An entry test is must
for private colleges too but merit is relatively low in Private medical
colleges.
FEES OF PUBLIC & PRIVATE MEDICAL COLLEGES
The fees of public medical colleges are taken once
in a year which mostly falls between 80,000pkr to 15,000pkr without hostel
charges Unfortunately, Private medical colleges in Pakistan charge mounting
fees that is barely affordable for many in middle class even. According to a
survey, in 2019, the per year fees of private medical colleges in Lahore and
Pakistan fall between 10 lakhs pkr to 15 lakhs pkr without hostel charges. The
total expenses of private medical colleges in 4-5 year MBBS degree program,
accumulate between 60 lakhs pkr to 1 crore pkr to fulfil the dream to become a
doctor.
Here is one view of per year charges in a private medical college:
MDCAT Entry test preparation and detail:
- To take admission in these medical colleges, a candidate requires appearing in an entry test MDCAT which is conducted by UHS every year. MDCAT entry test is objective type test taken from four subjects.
- Chemistry 60, Physics 40, Biology 80 and English 20 from syllabus of FSc. MDCAT has 200 marks in total and time is 2hrs and 30 minutes. Let me tell you one thing that last year a student from Faisalabad got 199 marks out of 200 in MDCAT entry test.
- Calculators are not allowed in MDCAT entry test.
- Matric or SSC marks are not included in merit of medical colleges. An aggregate of 50% marks from HSSC and 50% marks from entry test is taken into consideration while making the merit.
- A full 20-marks for Hifz e Quran are added in aggregate result of MDCAT after taking a proper Hifz e Quran test of candidate which no doubt has great effect on merit.
- A-level students can also apply and compete in MDCAT entry test for medical merit after policy amendment by PMDC if they have attained above 70% marks in Cambridge or in any other foreign examination. A-level result 50% and entry test MDCAT 50% result will make merit of A level students. Luckily, O-level students don’t need to push towards Fsc. to compete in MDCAT after amended policy of PMDC.
- MDCAT Entry test is centralized now and will be taken on same date throughout Pakistan.
- There inony negative marking for wrong answers ththehe MDCAT entry test.
- MDCAT 2019 date was August 25, 2,019 where 74,000 students appeared the in MDCAT entry test.
