BUMHS Entry Test 2026-27

Admission to Bolan University of Medical and Health Sciences (BUMHS), Quetta, depends on which health program you want. This guide for 2026-27 separates the national MDCAT route for MBBS and BDS from the tests used for nursing, physiotherapy and BS programs. Pair it with the BUMHS profile.

Which Test Is Required

• MBBS and BDS: MDCAT, the national Medical and Dental College Admission Test administered under PMDC. BUMHS runs the MDCAT 2026 application portal for Balochistan candidates (Source: https://bumhs.edu.pk/admissionapp/mdcat2026/index).
• BS Nursing (BSN): Nursing Colleges Admission Test (NCAT), with admittance cards issued by BUMHS (Source: https://bumhs.edu.pk).
• DPT: university entrance test announced with the DPT admission notice.
• BS allied health programs: a BUMHS admission test, with admittance cards published on the website.

Test Pattern

PMDC publishes the MDCAT syllabus and format annually; BUMHS’s role is registration, conduct in Balochistan and merit listing.

Eligibility

• MBBS/BDS: FSc Pre-Medical or equivalent meeting the PMDC minimum percentage, plus a valid MDCAT score meeting the PMDC pass mark — check pmdc.pk for the current thresholds.
• Balochistan domicile for provincial seats; other quotas as notified.
• DPT and BS programs: FSc Pre-Medical or equivalent; minimum marks — check official website.
• BSN: FSc Pre-Medical and NCAT; check official website for percentage requirements.

Registration and Fee

MDCAT candidates register through the BUMHS MDCAT portal during the window announced on the website; DPT, BSN and BS applicants use separate forms. Fee amounts: check official website.

Schedule

Recent cycles on the official site show MDCAT in the autumn with grievance windows afterwards, a BS test in winter, NCAT in December and DPT tests in early spring; fee-submission deadlines for the BS Fall intake were extended into September 2025 last cycle. Exact 2026-27 dates: check official website.

Merit Formula

For MBBS/BDS, merit follows the PMDC admission regulations and provincial policy; BUMHS publishes revised provisional merit and placement lists (Source: https://bumhs.edu.pk/tentitive_list/2nd%20Revised%20Merit-Placement%20List%20(BAL).pdf). The exact weightage — check official website.

Preparation Tips

• Study the official PMDC MDCAT syllabus and weightage before buying any preparation book.
• Practise full-length timed MDCAT mocks; speed matters as much as accuracy.
• Revise FSc Biology and Chemistry thoroughly — they carry the largest share of questions.
• Keep your domicile and local certificate ready; provincial seats depend on them.
• Monitor the BUMHS website weekly for grievance windows and extended deadlines.
