How many marks in ppmt entrance exam

For the PPMET (Punjab Para Medical Entrance Test):

If you belong to the General category, you need to score at least the 50th percentile to qualify for B.Sc Nursing counselling.

If you are from the SC, ST, or OBC category, you need at least the 40th percentile.

In terms of raw marks, a minimum of 35% marks is required for general candidates, and 30% marks for SC/BC candidates to be provisionally eligible for admission.

Typically, scoring around 300–400 marks out of 800 may place you in a qualifying range, depending on the difficulty level and competition in that year.

If you’re preparing for the PPMET entrance exam, here’s what you need to know about the marks. The exam is conducted by BFUHS for admission to B.Sc Nursing and related courses in Punjab. It has a total of 200 questions from Physics, Chemistry, Botany, and Zoology, with each section carrying 50 questions. Each correct answer gives you 4 marks, so the total marks for the exam are 800. There is no negative marking.

To qualify, general category students need to score at least 50 percent, which means around 400 marks out of 800. For reserved categories, the qualifying marks are usually lower as per the official guidelines.

If you are aiming for a good college, it’s always better to target a higher score because the merit list is prepared based on marks, and competition can be high depending on the number of applicants. Counselling and seat allotment are done based on the rank you get, which is directly linked to your score.

So, if you're aiming for B.Sc Nursing through PPMET, a score above 400 is considered safe to clear the qualifying mark, and the higher your score, the better your chances during counselling.

All the best!
