The University of Health Sciences (UHS) has decided to conduct all examinations through multiple-choice questions (MCQs) starting from 2026, as reported by national media on Monday.
According to details, UHS stated that short questions in all exams, including MBBS, will be discontinued next year. From next year, the passing marks for examinations will also be 65 percent.
The spokesperson for the University of Health Sciences said that students will be required to obtain 65 percent marks separately in both theory and practical exams to pass. This policy will be uniformly applied to all undergraduate and postgraduate examinations.
Notably, the University of Health Sciences (UHS) Lahore is a leading public-sector medical university in Pakistan, established with the vision of bringing innovation and excellence to the country’s medical and health education system.
It serves as an affiliating and degree-awarding institution for hundreds of medical and dental colleges across Punjab, setting high academic and professional standards for future doctors, dentists, nurses, and allied health professionals. UHS also plays a key role in conducting entrance tests for medical and dental colleges, ensuring transparency and merit-based admissions.
