Medical Enrichment Program: MBBS Plus with LUMS
The ad offers two tracks. “LUMS” is printed in the ad and on the SMDC page as the Lahore University of Management Sciences:
| Track | What it is (ad) | Extra detail from SMDC’s own page |
| Track 1 | A 6-year (1+5) programme: Year 1 at LUMS, then 5 years of MBBS at SMDC. | Two consecutive LUMS semesters (3 compulsory courses and up to 2 electives each, 12 to 18 credit hours). Compulsory: Molecular Biology, Molecular Genetics, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology Lab. Electives include artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship and information systems. Students choosing the LUMS year must go through an interview for final selection to LUMS. |

At LUMS the ad says students study Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Nanotechnology, Health Economics, Philosophy, Critical Thinking & Logic and more. The SMDC page adds: the MBBS Plus fee structure is the same as standard MBBS; the first MBBS year’s payment is due upfront to SMDC; LUMS grades these students pass/fail (an “F” in a core course must be repeated); the MBBS degree is awarded by UHS and LUMS gives a certificate for its courses.

How to Apply: Step by Step
What the Ad Does Not Say
The SMDC ad does not print: eligibility (FSc marks, MDCAT score), the number of seats, the application deadline or procedure, or fees. The college page lists “Vacant Seats in MBBS Year 2026-27” only for 3rd, 4th and 5th year (figures 7, 2 and 0 on the page; the column mapping is not clear), which is a different matter from first-year admission. Treat anything you hear about “direct admission” as unverified.
Karna / Nahi Karna: Do and Don’t
✅ Karna (Do)
- Read the Punjab admission policy 2026-27 and the SMDC prospectus before applying.
- Call Student Affairs and confirm the deadline and the application route.
- Ask for the fee instalment plan in writing.
- If you want the LUMS year or a scholarship, ask about the interview and the documents early.
❌ Nahi karna (Don’t)
- Do not pay an agent or “direct admission” broker.
- Do not assume the 6 November portal date is SMDC’s deadline without confirming.
- Do not treat the scholarship as automatic: it depends on merit aggregate and seat availability, and needs a public-sector admission offer.
- Do not rely on the ranking claims without seeing the UHS result gazette.
