KEMU Undergraduate Admissions 2026-27

As of October 2026 the undergraduate picture at King Edward Medical University (KEMU) Lahore is in two phases. The MDCAT 2026 result (test held 20 September 2026) has been declared by UHS, and the UHS portal for MBBS/BDS applications to Punjab’s public colleges was reported open by affiliated colleges on 16 October 2026 — this is the route to a KEMU MBBS seat. KEMU’s own Allied Health Sciences, DPT and AVS cycle for 2026-27 is expected to be advertised in October–November; the previous cycle (session 2026-29) finished its final merit list in May 2026. No Spring 2027 intake exists for these programmes. Background is in the KEMU profile and test details on the KEMU entry test page.
