NUMS MBBS BDS admission schedule 2026-27
NUMS has announced three dates for the 2026-27 admission cycle. The provisional merit list comes first. It shows each applicant’s position, but it is not an offer of admission. Selection lists are a separate stage, and they decide which college a candidate is placed in.
- 10 December 2026: provisional merit list for MBBS and BDS.
- 17 December 2026: first selection list for MBBS.
- 21 January 2027: first selection list for BDS.
The schedule does not say how many seats are available, what the fee is, or how the aggregate is calculated. Those details are not announced in the schedule, so check the NUMS admission notice for them.
What to do before the merit list
- Check that the email address and phone number on your NUMS application are correct, since NUMS may contact you about missing documents.
- Keep scanned copies of your MDCAT result, HSSC result and equivalence certificate ready if you studied under a foreign board.
- Open the NUMS website on 10 December and look for the merit list link under the admissions or news section.
In last year’s cycle, NUMS gave candidates a short window after the provisional list to report errors by email. The same step may apply this year, so read the notice as soon as the list appears.
