The University of Health Sciences (UHS) Lahore is a provincial public medical university and examining body chartered by the Government of Punjab. It is not the medical regulatory body in Pakistan. The sole statutory regulatory authority for licensing and medical practice nationwide is the Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PM&DC).
On behalf of the Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education Department (SHC&MED) Punjab, UHS is designated to conduct PGET for Level-III residency slots under the Central Induction Policy (CIP). PGET carries 75% weightage in the overall admission merit formula.
Official UHS notifications confirm that PGET is a physical, paper-based objective examination administered using OMR bubble response sheets. It is not a computer-based test (CBT).
Official UHS PGET centers are located strictly within Punjab administrative divisions. UHS does not hold exam centers in Karachi, Peshawar, or Islamabad:
Candidates choose their preferred city during registration on admissions.uhs.edu.pk/pget. Test centers cannot be modified after the final registration deadline.
While Punjab domicile is mandatory for Open Merit and Punjab Disability seats, candidates possessing domiciles from Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK), Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), and Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) are eligible to appear in PGET to compete for designated Regional Quota Seats under CIP.
PGET does NOT replace CPSP enrollment (FCPS-I). However, any FCPS-II trainee seeking a paid clinical residency slot in Punjab Government teaching hospitals must pass PGET to secure admission through CIP.
