Opening applications for the 2026-27 academic year, the University College of Medicine and Dentistry, a constituent college of the University of Lahore, declared 225 total seats for MBBS and BDS programmes. The institution is offering 150 MBBS places and 75 BDS spots, which include designated places for overseas applicants, according to the official admission notice.

Private medical and dental institutions across Punjab will manage their admissions through the University of Health Sciences Lahore centralised online application system. Submissions for MBBS opened on October 23, 2026, and close on November 6, 2026, at 5:00 PM. Meanwhile, BDS applications open on December 18, 2026, with a deadline of January 1, 2027.

Seat Distribution

For its 26th batch, the college features 150 MBBS seats, while the 27th batch for BDS contains 75 seats. The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council allocated 127 open-merit and 23 overseas spots for MBBS, alongside 64 open-merit and 11 overseas spaces for BDS. Foreign and overseas applicants can access roughly 15 percent of all available positions under specific admission categories, provided they satisfy eligibility criteria.

Eligibility Criteria

Local candidates need an FSc Pre-Medical qualification or an equivalent credential with a minimum of 60 percent marks. MBBS applicants must achieve at least 55 percent marks in MDCAT, whereas BDS candidates require a minimum of 50 percent marks. Furthermore, all applicants must satisfy standards set by the Punjab government policy applied via UHS, and overseas students must fulfil their respective testing and academic criteria.

Merit Calculation Formula

Admission merit is determined by UHS using scores from Matriculation, FSc Pre-Medical or equivalent exams, and MDCAT results. Matriculation or SSC results carry a 10 percent weight, FSc or HSSC Pre-Medical marks account for 40 percent, and the MDCAT score makes up the remaining 50 percent. This formula applies to the centralised admission process, though meeting baseline academic standards does not guarantee admission since allocation depends on merit, quotas, and vacancies.

Application Procedure

Candidates must submit applications through the University of Health Sciences online portals, using privatembbs.uhs.edu.pk for MBBS and privatebds.uhs.edu.pk for BDS during the active window. Applicants set up an account with a name, email, CNIC, passport or CRC number, mobile number, and password. Next, students complete a profile with personal information like domicile, address, nationality, gender, and date of birth, before selecting categories such as Open Merit or Overseas Pakistani/Dual National. Finally, candidates input their education history, exam scores, passing years, and test results, and upload required PNG or JPG documents under 500 KB.

Facilities and Scholarships

Scholarships exist for eligible students according to the admission advertisement, though the notice omits specific amounts, application steps, and eligibility rules. The campus provides clinical training through six affiliated teaching hospitals holding 1,176 combined beds, simulation centres, and undergraduate research options. Additionally, housing is available for both male and female students, and the college advises contacting the administration directly regarding accommodation fees, scholarships, and related costs.
