DPT Merit List 2026 – KEMU, UHS, Dow & UOL Updates

DPT Merit List 2026: KEMU, Dow, UHS and Other Universities

DPT merit lists for the 2026 admission cycle are published by each institute, not by one central body. KEMU released its first list for the 2026–2029 session on 24 December 2025 and its 21st and last on 8 May 2026. Dow University published provisional and final DPT lists for Session 2025-26. If you missed the 2026 cycle, the 2027 lists will follow new admission notices, likely from November 2026 (Dow's last notice was posted 13 Nov 2025). Use the official links below, and check your aggregate before you decide which list to chase.

Merit List

Where to find DPT merit lists 2026, institute by institute

Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) is a five-year professional degree, and admission is decided institute by institute. There is no single national list, so which page you open depends on where you applied.

King Edward Medical University (KEMU), Lahore

KEMU publishes DPT lists together with its Allied Health Sciences programmes. The 2026–2029 run reached its 21st list, dated 8 May 2026, with batches of lists released together on 28 March and 18 April. That volume is normal for a high-demand seat pool: early lists move fast, and later ones fill gaps as candidates withdraw. Official list page: KEMU DPT Merit Lists. 

Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS), Karachi

Dow posted its provisional DPT list on 15 January 2026 and later a notice that few seats remained (up to merit number 200), followed by the final list. The programme has 100 seats a year, 50 merit and 50 self-finance. Official page: Dow Admissions 2025-26. 

University of Health Sciences (UHS), Lahore

UHS offers DPT among its programmes. Its admissions page currently lists other lists (MBBS/BDS, migration, postgraduate), and I found no DPT list there. Check the UHS admissions page directly. 

Private and self-finance colleges

Private colleges publish their own lists, often several. CMH Lahore Medical College issued a 2nd provisional self-finance DPT list on 10 March 2026, with in-person reporting on 11–12 March. Read the instructions on every list: they set the reporting window. 

How the DPT aggregate is calculated

Most public DPT lists rank candidates on a weighted aggregate of matric, intermediate (pre-medical) and entry test marks.

Dow's confirmed formula: 10% Matric/O-Level, 40% Inter/A-Level and 50% DUHS entry test. KEMU includes matric, FSc pre-medical and MDCAT. That is the description on ilmkidunya's own DPT admissions page. Exact weights differ by institute and year, so check each prospectus. ilmkidunya

Worked example (Dow's 10/40/50 formula): 90% matric, 85% FSc, 70% on the entry test. That is 9.0 + 34.0 + 35.0 = 78.0 aggregate.

What closing merit looks like

Closing merit is the aggregate of the last candidate admitted. Verified DPT closing merits are scarce, so here is what I could confirm.

Dow, Session 2023-24 final list (the most recent full list I could read):

Read it this way: a candidate around 75 secured a seat near merit number 126 that year, but seats and applicants shift every cycle. Treat these as a pattern, not a forecast.

What to do after your name appears

1. Note the reporting date and time on the list itself.

2. Prepare originals plus copies of all documents.

3. Pay the fee within the stated window. CMH's list warns that admission is confirmed only when the college dues are deposited. 

4. If you don't report, you may be dropped. The same CMH notice says candidates who don't report are removed and not considered for later lists. 

5. If you are on a lower list, watch for upgradation lists. Later KEMU and Dow lists exist for exactly this.
