# List of medical schools in Pakistan

In Pakistan, a medical school is more often referred to as a medical college. A medical college is affiliated with a university as a department which usually has a separate campus. As of January 2019, there are a total of 114 medical colleges in Pakistan, 44 of which are public and 70 private. All but two colleges are listed in International Medical Education Directory. As per Pakistan Medical Commission 2021 database, there are 176 medical colleges in Pakistan (Medical and Dental Colleges), including 45 public sector and 72 private sector medical colleges. In addition, there are 17 public sector and 42 private sector dental colleges.
All medical colleges and universities are regulated by the respective provincial department of health. They however have to be recognized after meeting a set criteria by a central regulatory authority called Pakistan Medical Commission and by Higher Education Commission (Pakistan). Admission to the medical colleges is based on merit under the guidelines of PMC. Both the academic performance at the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) (grades 11–12) and an entrance test like NMDCAT determine eligibility for admission to most of the medical colleges.

## Admission process

To get admission into any government medical college, the weightage is determined by the provincial or federal government. A minimum weightage of 50% should be given to the NMDCAT. In order to get admission into any private medical college, the following weightage is used:
* 50% to the score obtained in National Medical and Dental College Admission Test (NMDCAT) weighted as follows:
** Biology: 32%
** Chemistry: 26.5%
** Physics: 26.5%
** English: 10%
** Logical Reasoning: 5%
* 40% to marks of Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) Pre-Medical.
* 10% to marks of Secondary School Certificate (SSC) Science.
The minimum requirements are:
* 65% or above in F-SC /HSSC or A-Levels equivalent IBCC certificate.
* 55% or above in NMDCAT for admission in Medical Colleges and 45% or above for Dental Colleges.
The Pakistani government exerts tight control over the available number of open medical school seats in both private and public colleges. The regulation forbids all colleges from admitting any student over the allocated maximum seats for the college under any circumstances.
