Margalla College of Dentistry Merit List 2026
The Margalla merit list is issued by UHS, not by the college. UHS ranks all applicants in one order of merit and publishes college-wise selection lists on uhs.edu.pk; it does not send call letters.
| List | BDS |
|---|---|
| Provisional order of merit | Friday, 8 January 2027 |
| Final order of merit | Monday, 11 January 2027 |
| First selection list | Wednesday, 13 January 2027 |
| Second selection list | Monday, 18 January 2027 |
| Third selection list | Friday, 22 January 2027 |
| Classes start | Monday, 1 March 2027 |
Aggregate formula: Matric 10% + FSc 40% + MDCAT 50%. For example, 90% in Matric, 85% in FSc and 80% in MDCAT gives 9 + 34 + 40 = 83%.
If you are selected: deposit Rs 600,000 with UHS within three working days of the list, or the seat goes to the next candidate. UHS transfers this amount to Margalla, and you pay the rest of the fee to the college. When joining, you choose either to keep your seat or to stay in the running for a higher preference in the next list; this choice is final.
