Key observations: MBBS
- Dow Medical College remains the most competitive public sector MBBS option in Sindh, closing 2.69 percentage points above Sindh Medical College, the next highest.
- The spread across the list is 6.50 percentage points, from 87.44% at Dow to 80.94% for the SMBBMC Kemari Town category.
- The median closing merit is 83.13% (PUMHS Nawabshah reciprocal seat). A candidate at or above this figure would have cleared the cutoff for roughly half of the listed options.
- The middle of the list is tightly packed. Four options (JSMU, LUMHS reciprocal, Lyari Medical College and PUMHS reciprocal) fall within a band of just 1.62 percentage points, so small differences in aggregate can change which college a candidate is allotted.
- Reciprocal seats account for one-third of the listed MBBS options and closed between 83.09% and 84.25%, above the cutoffs for KMDC and both SMBBMC town categories.
