PGET 2026 Paper II in Pakistan: MCQ Split for Surgery, Medicine and Dental Specialties

PGET 2026 Paper II is a separate 100 question test for each specialty, worth 100 marks. In Surgery and Allied, General Surgery alone carries 55 questions. In Ophthalmology, clinical ophthalmology carries 67. In dental specialties, the main subject carries 40 to 60.

Paper I is the same kind of test for everyone in a group. Paper II is where your specialty decides your marks. We read UHS's Table of Specifications on 21 October 2026 and counted the questions for each specialty. The University of Health Sciences (UHS) Lahore holds the Postgraduate Entrance Test (PGET) on 25 October 2026, so the numbers below are worth a look before you plan the last days of revision.

Every Paper II has 100 questions, but the split changes by specialty

UHS says each PGET paper has 100 multiple choice questions, 100 marks and two hours. Paper II is specialty specific. The Table of Specifications gives a subject split for each one, so two candidates sitting the same day can face very different papers.

The basic medical sciences side of the test is in our page on the Paper I subject split for MBBS and dental graduates. The dates and admit cards are in the page on the UHS PGET 2026 test day and pass mark.

Surgery and Allied papers give General Surgery 55 of 100 questions

Both Surgery and Allied groups give General Surgery 55 questions. Group 1 adds Urology, Plastic Surgery and Paediatric Surgery at 15 each. Group 2 adds Orthopaedics, Cardiothoracic Surgery and Neurosurgery at 15 each.

Medicine, Gynaecology and Pathology spread marks more evenly

Medicine and Allied has eleven topics, none above 14 questions. Pathology gives 23 each to Histopathology, Chemical Pathology, Microbiology and Haematology, plus 8 to Immunopathology. Gynaecology and Obstetrics gives 23 to Reproductive Physiology and 21 to Pathology.

That spread means a narrow revision plan is risky. In Gynaecology and Obstetrics, UHS also says at least 10 questions come from the attitude domain. In Radiology, up to 10 can be image based, and Anatomy and applied radiology carries 90. Radiology also gives Thorax 30 and Limbs 25 within that.

Dental specialties put 40 to 60 questions on the main subject

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Operative Dentistry give their own subject 60 questions. Orthodontics, Prosthodontics and Periodontology give theirs 40. The rest is shared between Community Dentistry, Oral Biology, Dental Materials and Oral Pathology.

Within Operative Dentistry, Restorative has 20 questions and Endodontics 10. Anaesthesia, in the part of the file we read, gives Pharmacology 30 and Physiology 25.

Paediatric Medicine is only partly readable in our copy

We could read most of the Paediatric Medicine table but not all of it. The visible sections add up to 92 questions, with Gastrointestinal and Liver at 12 and Cardiovascular, Neonatology and Infectious Diseases at 10 each. We have not assumed the missing 8.

Open the official file and read the Nutrition section yourself before you rely on it. The same goes for any specialty not shown here, such as Family Medicine, which we did not find a table for in the part we read.

1. Find your specialty in the official file.
2. Mark every subject with 15 or more questions.
3. Rank the rest by question count.
4. Revise by count, not by interest.
5. Take one timed 100 question paper in 120 minutes.

How we verified this

What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.

Last checked 21 October 2026. Counts come from the PGET Table of Specifications on uhs.edu.pk, read on 21 October 2026, and the PGET portal at admissions.uhs.edu.pk. We read the file in two parts, and an automatic reader cut some headings, so we only used tables whose totals came to 100. We could not confirm Paediatric Medicine in full, Family Medicine, negative marking or the pass mark. We did not see the paper.
