FAQ

Common questions

Where should I confirm Khyber Pakhtunkhwa medical college seat numbers?

Use the seat-allocation table in the official prospectus for the admission session you are applying to, then check subsequent correction notices. Separate MBBS from BDS, open merit from reserved categories, and sanctioned capacity from seats actually offered. A figure from last year's prospectus or a news headline may not describe your category this year.

How do I check whether I am eligible for a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa quota seat?

Read the category-specific domicile, qualification, MDCAT and documentation requirements in the admitting authority's current notice. Some categories use nominations or a separate application portal. Eligibility for a reserved category does not automatically place you on an open-merit list; follow the instructions and deadline for your category.

Does an increase in seats guarantee a lower closing merit?

No. Closing merit is the aggregate of the last selected candidate in a particular college, programme, category and selection round. It also depends on applicant scores, preferences and movement between lists. Compare like-for-like official lists and treat previous merit as a planning reference, not a guaranteed admission score.

Which documents should I prepare before applying?

Check the official application checklist for your session. Typically you will need identification, academic results, domicile and MDCAT result details, plus any category-specific supporting documents. Use the names and marks on your official records, upload readable copies and keep your submission receipt; the authority's checklist takes precedence over a general guide.
