Last updated · Page editedHow NUMS calculates your aggregate
NUMS is the admitting university for the armed forces medical and dental colleges. It runs its own entry test, the NUMS MDCAT, and uses the PMDC split: 50% test, 40% FSc Pre-Medical and 10% Matric. The PMDC MDCAT taken for UHS, KMU or other provinces is a different test and isn't accepted for NUMS colleges.
MBBS and BDS
Aggregate = (NUMS MDCAT % × 0.5) + (FSc / HSSC % × 0.4) + (Matric / SSC % × 0.1)
- 50% NUMS MDCAT percentage (Paper I plus the psychological test).
- 40% FSc Pre-Medical (at least 60%).
- 10% Matric.
O and A-Level students
Aggregate = (NUMS MDCAT % × 0.5) + (A-Level % × 0.4) + (O-Level % × 0.1)
- 50% NUMS MDCAT.
- 40% A-Level and 10% O-Level, from your IBCC equivalence.
Which marks to enter
- NUMS MDCAT: the percentage printed on your NUMS result. The test has two papers with different weights, so counting correct answers won't give your exact score.
- FSc and Matric: your marks and the totals on your mark sheets.
- O and A Levels: choose O and A Levels and enter your IBCC equivalence marks.
- Took the PMDC MDCAT instead? Use the MDCAT calculator for UHS and other provinces, or the KMU calculator for KP.
Worked example: NUMS aggregate for MBBS
| Part | Working | Points |
|---|---|---|
| NUMS MDCAT % 80 / 100 | 80% × 50% | 40.0000 |
| FSc / HSSC 990 / 1100 | 90% × 40% | 36.0000 |
| Matric / SSC 1012 / 1100 | 92% × 10% | 9.2000 |
| NUMS aggregate | 85.2000% | |
PMDC's minimum pass marks are 55% for MBBS and 50% for BDS, and you need at least 60% in FSc Pre-Medical.
