KMU Pharm D Merit List 2026-27: 2nd List Closed at 90.66% on Open Merit, Check Yours by Form Number
KMU Pharm D merit list 2026-27: the 2nd list closed at 90.65682% on open merit, 12 selected, 14 waiting. How to check by form number and work out your aggregate
KMU's 2nd merit list for Pharm D admissions 2026-27, dated 3 November 2026, selected 12 more students: 8 on open merit down to an aggregate of 90.65682%, 2 on the newly merged districts (Ex-FATA) quota and 2 on general self finance. Fourteen more are on the waiting list, from 90.6% down to 90.28182%. As of 12 November no third list was posted on ips.kmu.edu.pk or kmu.edu.pk. Your position on the first final list, which has 1,126 names, tells you whether you are still in the running.
We read both lists that Khyber Medical University's Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (KMU IPS) published, the first final merit list and the 2nd merit list. We also recomputed two aggregates from the published marks to show how your own figure is worked out. This page covers the Pharm D programme in Peshawar only. MBBS and BDS lists are separate.
The KMU Pharm D 2nd merit list closed at 90.65682% on open merit
The last open merit candidate selected on KMU's 2nd Pharm D merit list had an aggregate of 90.65682%. The first name on the waiting list had 90.6%. Below that, the list selects only on quota seats, at 90.61364% and 90.33333% on the Ex-FATA quota.
| Category | Selected on the 2nd list | Aggregate range |
|---|---|---|
| Open Merit | 8 | 90.91667% to 90.65682% |
| Newly Merged Districts (Ex-FATA) | 2 | 90.61364% and 90.33333% |
| General Self Finance | 2 | 90.27197% and 90.26288% |
| Open Merit waiting list | 14 | 90.6% to 90.28182% |
The open merit band on this list is narrow, about a quarter of a percent from top to bottom. A gap that small is why a single mark in the KMU-CAT entry test can move you a long way up or down the list.
How KMU's Pharm D admission has run so far in 2026
KMU took Pharm D applications until 9 October 2026, published a first final merit list with interviews on 28 and 29 October, and released the 2nd merit list on 3 November. Selected students got offer letters by WhatsApp the next day.

How to check the KMU Pharm D merit list online
Open ips.kmu.edu.pk, click Merit List, and download the list PDF. Then search it for your form number. Your form number is the five digit number on your online application.
- Go to ips.kmu.edu.pk and click Merit List in the top menu.
- Under "Merit List of KMU IPS (Pharm D) for BS Programs", click View / Download Link for the list you want.
- For the 2nd list, open kmu.edu.pk and find "2nd Merit List of PharmD, Admissions 2026-27" under the latest documents.
- On a phone, open the PDF and use Find in page to search your form number, not your name. Names repeat.
- Read the last column. "SELECTED" or "Selected on" means a seat is offered. "Waiting" means you are next in line if a seat falls vacant.
If your marks are wrong on a list, the portal has an Add Complaint button on the merit list page. KMU's MBBS and BDS lists work the same way, set out in our page on the KMU MBBS and BDS merit list.
How the KMU Pharm D aggregate is worked out
KMU weighs SSC (matric) marks at 10%, HSSC (FSc) marks at 50% and the KMU-CAT entry test at 40%. Add the three parts to get your aggregate. We checked this against the top two names on the first final list and got their published figures.
| Part | Weight | Top candidate's marks | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| SSC | 10% | 1018 out of 1100 | 9.2545 |
| HSSC | 50% | 1098 out of 1200 | 45.7500 |
| KMU-CAT | 40% | 100 out of 100 on the list | 40.0000 |
| Aggregate | 100% | 95.0045 |
The list prints 95.00455 for that candidate, which matches. The second name, with 1077, 1105 and 96, comes to 94.2326 against a published 94.23258. Use the same sum on your own marks: (SSC marks / SSC total x 10) + (HSSC marks / HSSC total x 50) + (CAT marks x 0.4). The test itself is explained in our page on KMU-CAT 2026.
The minimum to apply was 60% in FSc (Pre-Medical) or an equivalent. Seats are filled on merit within each quota, so your rank in your own category matters more than your overall rank.
What to do if you are selected or on the waiting list
Selected students must pay the fee at any Bank of Khyber (BOK) branch by the date on the fee slip and upload the paid slip in their online application. The merit list rules say a seat is cancelled if the fee is not paid within three working days.
- Selected: pay at BOK, upload the slip online, then report to the Director's office at IPS within three days for documents. No visit is needed just to pay.
- No letter by WhatsApp: the 2nd list tells students to text 03469197805.
- Waiting list: keep your phone on. A vacant seat goes to the next candidate on merit.
- Not on any list: the next chance is usually another university's Pharm D. In Punjab, UHS has run seven selection lists; see the UHS seventh Pharm D selection list.
KMU's helpline numbers on the Pharm D portal are 091-9217703 and 091-9217696. Pay only on a fee slip that comes from KMU, and do not pay anyone who calls offering a seat.
