Who is eligible for KEMU allied health admission
You need at least 60% in matric and 60% in FSc Pre-Medical, a passed MDCAT from 2024, 2025 or 2026, and a Punjab domicile. A-level students need 65% with three science subjects and an IBCC certificate of equivalence to FSc Pre-Medical.
- Matric: 60% marks or more.
- FSc Pre-Medical: 60% marks or more, or an equivalent with at least 12 years of education.
- A level: 65% aggregate in at least three science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Mathematics), certified by IBCC as equivalent to FSc Pre-Medical.
- MDCAT: a pass. KEMU says the result is valid for 3 years for this intake, so MDCAT 2024, 2025 and 2026 all count.
- Domicile: Punjab.
A-level students should get the IBCC certificate early, because it can take weeks. The documents and fee are set out in IBCC equivalence certificate.
Reserved and foreign seats
KEMU keeps one merit seat each for candidates from AJK, Balochistan and Gilgit-Baltistan. A 2% religious minority quota applies across AHS and DPT. Ten per cent of seats go to foreign nationals and overseas Pakistanis, who need SAT-II and IBCC equivalence and pay US$1,250 every six months on top of the regular fee.
KEMU merit formula and self-finance fee
KEMU calculates merit as 10% matric, 45% FSc and 45% MDCAT. One self-finance seat in each programme costs Rs 350,000 a year. That fee applies to self-finance seats only, not to open merit.
Here is how the formula works for a student with 1,000 out of 1,100 in matric (90.9%), 950 out of 1,100 in FSc (86.4%) and 150 out of 200 in MDCAT (75%):
| Part | Score | Weight | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matric | 90.9% | 10% | 9.09 |
| FSc | 86.4% | 45% | 38.86 |
| MDCAT | 75.0% | 45% | 33.75 |
| Aggregate | 81.70% | ||
Because MDCAT and FSc carry the same weight, a 10 mark gain in MDCAT out of 200 adds 2.25 points. Use the method in MDCAT aggregate and merit to work out your own number.

After the merit list
If your name appears, email KEMU from the address listed with the merit list to say you accept the seat. If you are on more than one list, pick one programme and name it in the email. Then take the printed form, original results and degrees, the paid fee challan, the joining letter and the tuition fee to Room No. 5, Office of the Assistant Registrar AHS, KEMU. You can go yourself or send a blood relative. Missing the deadline in the merit notice removes you from the process.
KEMU does not provide hostel accommodation for these programmes, so plan your stay in Lahore before you accept.
Applying at more than one university is common. The UHS route for affiliated colleges runs separately, as in UHS BS Allied Health admission.
