Action Plan for Candidates Who Passed PGET
After passing the UHS PGET examination, candidates submit their specialty and hospital preference choices on the Punjab Central Induction Policy (CIP) online portal. Your 100-point composite merit (75% PGET + 15% MBBS + 5% University Positions + 5% House Job) determines your clinical seat allocation.
Specialty Competitiveness & Estimated Aggregate Tiers
Very limited seats per hospital. If your aggregate is near the borderline, place these high in your preferences but always back them up with strong Tier 2 choices.
Largest number of seats distributed across all Punjab medical colleges. Peripheral tertiary hospitals frequently close 3% to 5% lower than central Lahore units.
High induction rates and strong specialty demand with excellent job prospects in public and private tertiary healthcare.
Hospital Preference Strategy (Central vs Regional)
Mayo Hospital / KEMU, Jinnah Hospital / AIMC, Services Hospital / SIMS, Lahore General Hospital / PGMI, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital / FJMU
Highest closing aggregates across all specialties. High competition among local Lahore graduates.
Holy Family / Benazir Bhutto / DHQ Rawalpindi (RMU), Allied Hospital / DHQ Faisalabad (FMU), Nishtar Hospital Multan (NMU)
Moderate-high merit. Top choice for northern Punjab, AJK, and central division candidates.
Bahawal Victoria Hospital / QAMC Bahawalpur, Sheikh Zayed Hospital Rahim Yar Khan, DHQ Teaching Hospital Gujranwala, DHQ Sahiwal
Slightly more accessible closing merit thresholds with equivalent paid residency training and stipend.
Quota Rules for AJK, Gilgit-Baltistan & Islamabad (ICT) Candidates
Under the Punjab Central Induction Policy (CIP) regulatory framework, candidates holding domiciles outside Punjab have designated pathways:
- Designated Regional Quotas: Candidates from AJK, Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), and Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) compete for designated regional quota seats in Punjab teaching hospitals rather than general Punjab open merit.
- Documentation: Ensure your original regional domicile certificate and PMDC permanent registration are verified before the CIP portal choice submission deadline.
Common Errors That Lead to Disqualification
- Expired PMDC License: Provisional licenses without valid renewal or permanent status will trigger document rejection.
- Submitting Too Few Choices: Never lock only 1 or 2 high-merit hospital choices. Always utilize all available preference slots to guarantee seat allocation in round 1.
- Parent Institute House Job Verification: Claiming the 5-mark parent institute bonus without an authentic hospital registrar certificate risks immediate merit recalculation to 2.5 or 0 marks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my preference list after submission on the CIP portal?
No. Once the final deadline for preference submission closes, choices are frozen and automated merit algorithm allocation takes place. Review your ordering carefully before finalizing.
Does scoring in the 75th percentile guarantee a residency slot?
No. Clearing the 75th percentile qualifies you to participate in CIP induction. Final placement depends on advertised seat count, your aggregate score out of 100, and institutional choices.
