Therefore, the official MDCAT result should always be treated as final for admission purposes rather than an earlier self-calculated score.

Bolan University of Medical and Health Sciences (BUMHS), Quetta released the official MDCAT 2026 answer keys for Balochistan.

Select the answer key corresponding to your exact BUMHS question-paper version before calculating your expected score.
Why Does MDCAT Have Different Paper Codes?
Multiple paper codes allow conducting universities to change the sequence of questions or answer options while testing students on the same syllabus.
That means two students may sit in the same examination but receive different paper versions.
For example:
- UHS used Codes A, B, C and D.
- KMU used Codes A, B, C and D.
- SZABMU used Codes 1, 2, 3 and 4.
- Other authorities also issued their relevant paper versions.
This is why selecting your exact code is essential.
How to Calculate Your MDCAT 2026 Score from the Answer Key
MDCAT 2026 contained 180 MCQs and had no negative marking.
That makes expected-score calculation straightforward.
- Take your bubble-sheet / carbon copy.
- Confirm the authority that conducted your MDCAT.
- Confirm your exact paper code.
- Open the correct official answer key.
- Compare all 180 answers.
- Count every correctly answered MCQ.
Expected MDCAT Score = Total Correct Answers
Example: 172 correct answers = 172 / 180
Your self-calculated marks should still be treated as an expected score until your conducting authority publishes the final official result.
MDCAT 2026 Subject-Wise MCQ Distribution
| Subject | MCQs |
|---|---|
| Biology | 81 |
| Chemistry | 45 |
| Physics | 36 |
| English | 9 |
| Logical Reasoning | 9 |
| Total | 180 |
What If an Official MDCAT Answer Looks Wrong?
Students sometimes disagree with an answer appearing in the initial official key.
When that happens, the correct approach is to use the objection or complaint procedure provided by the university rather than relying only on WhatsApp discussions or unofficial answer keys.
A proper answer-key objection should normally identify:
- The question number
- The exact paper code
- The answer given in the official key
- The answer you believe is correct
- A reliable academic or textbook reference
For MDCAT 2026, the original objection periods have already passed for most conducting authorities, so students checking the examination later should rely on the revised/final key and official result.
Answer Key vs Official MDCAT Result
An answer key helps you calculate an expected score.
Your official MDCAT result is the score formally issued by the conducting university after answer-key review and result processing.
| Answer Key | Official Result |
|---|---|
| Used to estimate marks | Official score issued to candidate |
| Can initially be provisional | Used for admission |
| May be reviewed after objections | Reflects final processing |
Already Have Your Final MDCAT Result?
Once your final MDCAT marks are confirmed, you can move from score checking to admission planning.
Your next step should be to calculate your medical college aggregate using your MDCAT, FSc/HSSC and Matric/SSC marks.
