Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University (SZABMU) has released its provisional merit list for admission to MBBS programmes at public-sector medical colleges. The list, issued from Islamabad on November 6, lets applicants see where they stand for the 2026-27 academic session. The step brings the admission cycle closer to its final stage.
What candidates should do
The university has asked applicants to read the list carefully and confirm that their personal details are correct. Because the list is provisional, an error that goes unnoticed could matter once the admission process is finalised. Candidates have also been encouraged to check their names and follow official university notifications for later updates.
Who runs the process
SZABMU manages admission procedures, merit lists and policy guidelines for its designated constituent and affiliated public and private medical and dental institutions. It also oversees admissions to healthcare programmes such as Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Allied Health Sciences (AHS). The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC), the national regulator for medical and dental education, sets the framework for the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT), the entrance test that feeds into these admissions.
Its major constituent institutions include Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) and the Federal Medical College and School of Dentistry in Islamabad. Both play a large part in medical and dental education and healthcare services.
What comes next
The university described the publication as an important step in the MBBS admission process. The provisional list is not the last stage, and the admission process will be finalised after candidates have verified their details. Applicants should keep watching official university channels for further admission updates.
