• NUMS held its MDCAT on 13 September 2026 and its 2026-27 merit list is still awaited.

• The lists online now belong to session 2025-26.

• Benchmark: the 2025-26 first public BDS list in Punjab closed at 94.3273%.

• Last checked 28 September 2026.

Where BDS merit lists stand right now

Two sessions overlap, so check the session label on every list. The 2025-26 admissions are finished, and their lists are still online. The 2026-27 cycle has only just begun with the MDCAT results.

For Punjab, UHS declared the MDCAT 2026 result on 24 September 2026, after the test on 20 September. Of 47,475 candidates, 40,457 (85.22%) cleared the 50% BDS bar. Qualifying only makes you eligible. UHS had not posted the 2026-27 application dates, formula or merit-list dates by 25 September, so treat any date circulating today as a guess.

UHS BDS merit list 2026

Official page: the UHS admission news page ( https://www.uhs.edu.pk/mdcatadmissionnews.php ) lists every merit and selection list. Check the session in each title.

Session 2025-26 (closed). UHS released a first public-sector selection list, followed by upgradation lists, through the spring. The first college-wise list is at https://www.uhs.edu.pk/1selectionlistpublicbds2025.php .

Session 2026-27 (awaited). Nothing posted yet. The last cycle's UHS merit formula was 10% Matric, 40% FSc and 50% MDCAT. Confirm the 2026-27 formula in the prospectus when it appears.

Last cycle's rhythm gives some guide. Applications opened on 7 November 2025, and the schedule put the BDS provisional list in late December. That is history, not a promise.

Closing merit of public dental colleges in Punjab (2025-26, first selection list)

The lowest closing merit was 94.3273%. De'Montmorency College of Dentistry, Lahore, closed highest at 94.5808%, and 235 open-merit seats were available across four public dental colleges.

These are first-list figures. Later upgradation lists can shift them slightly.

Private dental colleges in Punjab: 2025-26 closing merits

From the private-sector list of 12 March 2026 (session 2025-26). Verify against the UHS original.

NUMS BDS merit list 2026

NUMS is the admitting university for its constituent, affiliated and armed-forces-administered colleges. The NUMS MDCAT 2026, the only test valid for session 2026-27 admissions in those colleges, was held on 13 September 2026. NUMS posts its lists at https://numspak.edu.pk/admissions-details.php . numspak

Last cycle, NUMS displayed its provisional MBBS/BDS merit list on 24 December 2025, and said BDS selection lists follow PM&DC timelines. NUMS has separate private-sector BDS merit lists for session 2025-26, now closed.

DUHS BDS merit list 2026

Dow University of Health Sciences fills BDS seats at Dow Dental College, Dow International Dental College and the Dr Ishrat-ul-Ebad Khan Institute of Oral Health Sciences. Eligibility includes HSSC Pre-Medical with at least 60% and MDCAT passed as per PM&DC rules, with Karachi and Sindh domicile conditions. I found no 2026-27 BDS merit list for DUHS yet, so watch the admissions pages at https://www.duhs.edu.pk.
