UHS PGET 2026 Table of Specifications: Paper I & Paper II Weightage Breakdown
Following the Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education Department (SHC&MED) Punjab notification discontinuing JCAT, the University of Health Sciences (UHS) Lahore has restructured post-graduate entrance testing into a two-paper model. Here is everything you need to score in the 75th percentile.
Crucial CIP 2026 Induction Policy Mandate:
Under the Punjab Central Induction Policy (CIP), PGET carries a monumental 75% merit weightage. JCAT scores are no longer valid for any Level-III residency seats in Punjab teaching hospitals.
Paper I: Common Basic Medical Sciences (100 MCQs)
Duration: 120 Minutes | Mandatory for all candidates regardless of specialty
Paper I evaluates fundamental MBBS knowledge applied to clinical scenarios. Unlike basic rote recall, questions are structured with 5 options and clinical vignettes.
Paper II: Specialty-Specific Clinical Sciences (100 MCQs)
Duration: 120 Minutes | Aligned with candidate's chosen induction track
Paper II drills into your target clinical field. Whether you are pursuing Medicine & Allied (FCPS/MD), Surgery & Allied (FCPS/MS), Paediatrics, Gynae/Obs, or Dentistry (MDS), stems reflect ward emergencies, diagnostic criteria, and management protocols.
