KMU Merit List 2026: Check the Provisional MBBS and BDS Lists in KP, Final List Due 12 November

We downloaded the open merit PDFs on 10 November 2026 and counted them ourselves. Below you will find how to find your name, what the numbers say about your chances, the categories KMU lists, and the dates that come next. We have not reproduced any student's name or marks.

KMU's provisional merit lists cover 15 MBBS and 12 BDS categories

The merit list page at cas.kmu.edu.pk has two columns, one for MBBS and one for BDS. Each category has its own PDF. You appear in every category you ticked on your form, and in each one your position is worked out separately.

The MBBS lists also include NMTD (the newly merged tribal districts, ex-FATA), backward areas, disabled, minorities, Army Public School victims, OPF (Overseas Pakistanis Foundation), foreign self finance, Afghan nationals and minority self finance. KMU's own Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) and Institute of Dental Sciences (KIDS) in Kohat have separate lists. If you applied for an OPF seat, the extra steps are in our KMU OPF seats guide.

How to check your name in the KMU merit list

The lists are long. The MBBS open merit PDF runs to 152 pages. Search it rather than scrolling.

1. Open cas.kmu.edu.pk and click Merit Lists in the top menu.
2. Open the MBBS or BDS section and choose your category, for example Open Merit.
3. Download the PDF and use Find (Ctrl+F) to search your form number. Your form number is in your KMU account.
4. Read your row: serial number, aggregate, remarks and your college priorities.
5. Check the Remarks column. If it lists a missing document, log in at cas.kmu.edu.pk with your CNIC and fix it.
6. Repeat for every category you applied in.

Your serial number is your rank in that list. KMU ranks by aggregate, which is 10 per cent matric, 40 per cent FSc and 50 per cent MDCAT. Our earlier KMU MBBS and BDS admission 2026-27 guide explains the formula with a worked example.

What the open merit numbers tell you

The provisional list does not say which college or seat each person gets. That comes only at placement. But the shape of the list is still useful, because it shows how tightly packed the aggregates are.

We counted the eligible rows in the MBBS open merit PDF. These are approximate, because a small number of rows did not read cleanly from the PDF.

The gap is small at the top. About 1,700 eligible candidates have 93 or more, and about 2,860 have 90 or more. A difference of 0.1 can move you dozens of places. So a small error in your FSc marks entry matters.

KMU has not published seat numbers per college on the merit page. Without them, nobody can tell you a true closing merit yet. Be careful of any website that does.

Who is ineligible in the KMU lists

KMU's own notes on the list set the bar. For MBBS you need at least 60 per cent in HSSC (FSc) and at least 55 per cent in MDCAT 2024, 2025 or 2026. For BDS you need at least 50 per cent in MDCAT.

In our count of the MBBS open merit PDF, at least 16 rows are marked "Ineligible MDCAT Failed". The lowest eligible aggregate we found was about 64.9. If you are marked ineligible and think it is wrong, the complaint window has closed. Call KMU on 091-9217703 now, before the final list.

KMU's notes also say a remark in one category applies to your other categories too. A missing matric certificate flagged under open merit will follow you into self finance.

Next dates: final list 12 November, placement from 16 November

The online complaint window on the provisional list closed at 4:00 pm on 3 November 2026. KMU's admission schedule sets these next steps.

At placement you appear before the committee on your scheduled day. Once you get a college, KMU gives you a fee slip. Deposit the fee within three working days, or the seat goes to the next candidate. Then report to the principal's office within three days.

Students also applying in Punjab or Sindh should watch those deadlines too. Our page on MBBS and BDS admission in Sindh public colleges covers the Sindh side.

Common questions

Is the KMU merit list 2026 out?

The provisional MBBS and BDS lists are out on cas.kmu.edu.pk, dated 30 October 2026. The final list is due on 12 November 2026.

How do I check my name in the KMU merit list?

Open cas.kmu.edu.pk, go to Merit Lists, download your category's PDF and search your form number with Find.

What is the KMU closing merit for MBBS 2026?

KMU has not published it. Closing merit depends on seats per college, which appear only at placement from 16 November.

Can I still complain about my KMU merit list entry?

The online complaint window closed at 4:00 pm on 3 November 2026. Call 091-9217703 or email helpdesk@kmu.edu.pk if a real error remains.

What does "Ineligible MDCAT Failed" mean?

It means your MDCAT score is below 55 per cent for MBBS, so KMU will not place you in an MBBS seat.

How long do I have to pay the fee after placement?

Three working days. If you miss it, KMU cancels your right to the seat and offers it to the next candidate.
