Verified independent clinical reference data compiled from official UHS and Punjab CIP notifications.
PGET stands for Postgraduate Entrance Test (NOT "Pakistan Graduate Entrance Test"). It is an objective medical entrance examination administered by the University of Health Sciences (UHS) Lahore on behalf of the Specialized Healthcare & Medical Education Department (SHC&MED), Government of Punjab.
PGET is conducted specifically for residency seats in Punjab provincial teaching hospitals under the Central Induction Policy (CIP) for Level-III clinical postgraduate programs (FCPS-II, MS, MD). It is not a federal nationwide exam and does not govern inductions in other provinces such as Sindh or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Previously, medical graduates applied for university postgraduate programs through JCAT (Joint Centralized Admission Test). Under official Punjab Government notifications, JCAT has been permanently discontinued and replaced by PGET.
Passing Criteria & Merit Weightage:
Under the Punjab Central Induction Policy (CIP), PGET marks carry a decisive 75% weightage in the overall admission formula (MBBS professional examination marks contribute 15%, university top-3 positions contribute 5%, and house job institution origin contributes 5%). Candidates must score at or above the 75th percentile to qualify for clinical residency seat allocation.
Candidates must fulfill the following mandatory requirements before registering on the UHS portal:
PGET is not a continuous 4-hour test. It is administered in a single day across two separate sessions using physical OMR bubble response sheets (separated by a 30-minute break inside the center):
Candidates frequently ask whether PGET replaces FCPS-I or College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan (CPSP) registration.
The Official Reality: PGET does NOT replace CPSP enrollment or FCPS-I. Passing FCPS-I remains mandatory to be eligible for FCPS-II residency. However, to secure a paid training slot in Punjab Government teaching hospitals, all FCPS-II candidates must apply through CIP, where passing PGET is mandatory (accounting for 75% of your total induction merit).
Test centers are situated strictly within Punjab administrative divisions. UHS does not hold exam centers in Karachi, Peshawar, or Islamabad:
