# PGMI First Fellowship Merit Calculator (January 2027): ETEA 75, MBBS 20, Periphery 5 Source: https://upmed.net/pgmi-first-fellowship-merit-calculator/ Published: 2026-10-25 · Updated: 2026-10-25 Category: December 2026 / Jan 2027 Induction (KP) Publisher: UPMED (https://upmed.net/) > Calculate your PGMI Peshawar FCPS-II first fellowship merit: ETEA test 75, MBBS aggregate 20 and periphery service 5 marks (January 2027 IPM). For FCPS-II (first fellowship) induction in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Postgraduate Medical Institute (PGMI) Peshawar prepares merit out of **100 marks**. The rules are in the [Induction Policy Manual (IPM) for January 2027 induction onwards](https://upmed.net/pgmi-ipm-january-2027-fcps-induction-rules/), Clause 7(a). ## Merit formula | Component | Marks | | --- | --- | | PGMI entrance test (conducted by ETEA) | 75 | | MBBS / BDS (aggregate of all professional exams) | 20 | | Periphery / hard area health service | 5 | | **Total** | **100** | The entrance test is the biggest part. Three quarters of your merit depends on it, so preparation for the ETEA test matters more than anything else. See the [PGMI entrance test pattern](https://upmed.net/pgmi-etea-entrance-test-pattern-fcps-ii/). ## How MBBS marks are calculated PGMI takes the percentage of **each professional examination** separately and then takes their average: - Percentage of each prof = marks obtained / total marks x 100 - Aggregate = sum of the percentages of all profs / number of profs (4 or 5) - MBBS marks = aggregate x 0.20 **Example:** 1st prof 70%, 2nd prof 65%, 3rd prof 68%, 4th prof 72%, final prof 66%. Aggregate = 341 / 5 = 68.2%. MBBS marks = 68.2 x 0.20 = 13.64. The transcript / DMC must be issued or verified by the university. Foreign graduates without a detailed marks certificate (DMC) are given only 60% marks. CGPA / GPA is converted to percentage with the HEC formula. ## Periphery / hard area service marks - 0.5 to 2.5 marks for each completed year, depending on the area, as per DGHS KP notification No. 5327-32/DGHS dated 14 June 2021 (available on the PGMI website). - A maximum of **two years** is counted, so the maximum is 5 marks. - Less than 12 months = no marks. 12 to less than 18 months = 1 year. 18 months or more = 2 years. - Only for Medical Officers who are servants of the **Provincial Government of KP**. No marks for doctors working in hospitals managed by public-private partnership. - The certificate must be issued by the DGHS / Regional Director General. Certificates from an MS, DMS or DHO are not accepted. ## Tie If two candidates have equal marks, the **older** candidate is placed higher in merit. ## First fellowship merit calculator PGMI First Fellowship Merit Calculator FCPS-II induction, PGMI Peshawar (IPM January 2027) ETEA 75MBBS 20Periphery 5 ###### PGMI Entrance Test (ETEA) 75 marks Your test result.
