A press release issued by the PMC, after the first council meeting of the regulator, last week said that NUMS has been appointed as the “examination providing entity”.

It had added that the exam will be based on the common FSC syllabus of all provinces in Pakistan, adding that applicants can use the syllabus already announced by NUMS for the MDCAT.

“Exact date of the MDCAT exam will be announced within a week after finalising all logistics,” clarified the PMC. It also added that 60% will be passing marks for the mandatory exam.

The regulator, that replaced the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council Admission, had said that “all public or private colleges including all government notified quota seats” will be subject to the passing of the MDCAT exam.

“Admission to all public colleges will be held on merit by each Province between November and December,” further clarified the PMC.
