Medical Admission Mark Distribution 2026-27, Syllabus & Study Plan

Subject-wise Marks

These are the marks used in the 2025-26 test. If the 2026-27 circular changes any number, this table is updated right away from the admin panel.

Merit Score: How 200 Marks Are Made

Part	How it is counted	Highest
Admission test	Your MCQ score after negative marking	100
SSC GPA	GPA × 8	40
HSC GPA	GPA × 12	60
Total		200

A student below 40 in the test fails and gets no merit position, whatever their GPA. Second-time candidates also lose marks: 3 if they passed HSC the year before, and 5 if they were admitted to a government medical or dental college last year.

Syllabus by Subject

Questions come from the HSC (Class 11-12) textbooks of the national curriculum.

Subject	Focus areas
Biology	Both papers: cell and cell division, plant and animal tissue, human physiology, genetics, microorganisms, plant and animal classification
Chemistry	Both papers: periodic table, chemical bonding, organic chemistry, quantitative chemistry, electrochemistry
Physics	Both papers: vectors, Newtonian mechanics, work and energy, heat, waves, electricity, modern physics
English	Grammar (right form of verb, prepositions, transformation), vocabulary, synonyms and antonyms, comprehension
General Knowledge	Bangladesh history and culture, the Liberation War, national and international current affairs

A Study Plan for the Final Weeks

With the test on 18 December, most students have about a month left. This plan spends time where the marks are:

Week	Main work	Daily practice
Week 1	Biology first paper + Chemistry first paper	1 timed model test of 100 MCQ
Week 2	Biology second paper + Chemistry second paper	1 model test + review all wrong answers
Week 3	Physics both papers + English grammar	1 model test + 30 GK questions
Final days	Past questions of the last 10 years, revision notes, rest	Light revision, sleep well before the test

Smart Tips for Negative Marking

• If you can rule out two options, an educated guess is usually worth it.
• If you have no idea at all, leave the question — four blind guesses cost a full mark.
• Answer Biology first: it has the most marks and the most “straight from the book” lines.
• Keep the last 10 minutes to check your OMR circles.

How Negative Marking Changes Your Score

Every wrong answer takes away 0.25 marks, so the number of questions you attempt matters. These examples show three students with different styles:

Answered	Right	Wrong	Final score
100	75	25	75 − 6.25 = 68.75
90	75	15	75 − 3.75 = 71.25
82	75	7	75 − 1.75 = 73.25

All three knew 75 answers, but the careful student scored 4.5 marks more. In a merit list where one mark can move you hundreds of places, that is a big gap.

How Many Students Get a Government Seat?

In 2025-26, 81,642 students passed the test, and 5,645 were selected for government medical and dental colleges in the first list — about 7 in every 100 who passed. With 100 marks already coming from GPA for many top students, small differences in the test decide most places. That is why accuracy matters more than speed.

Time Plan Inside the Exam Hall

You have 75 minutes for 100 questions. A simple split that many students find useful:

Section	Questions	Suggested time
Biology	30	22 minutes
Chemistry	25	19 minutes
Physics	15	12 minutes
English	15	8 minutes
General Knowledge	15	7 minutes
Final check of OMR	—	7 minutes

Biology Topics to Revise First

Biology gives 30 marks, so revise the chapters that questions come from most often. Cell and cell division, plant and animal tissue, human physiology (digestion, blood and circulation, breathing, excretion), genetics and evolution, and microorganisms are always worth a careful read. Read the textbook lines, labels of diagrams and tables, because many questions are taken almost word for word.

English and General Knowledge

These two sections give 30 marks together, as much as Biology. English questions test grammar, vocabulary and simple comprehension, so regular practice of right form of verbs, prepositions, synonyms and antonyms helps. General knowledge focuses on Bangladesh — its history, culture, the Liberation War and recent national events — so read the news daily in the last weeks.
