The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) holds the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) annually as an entrance exam for aspiring doctors. When will MDCAT 2023 be held?
Earlier this week, PMDC authorities hosted an E-Kachehri on its official Facebook page to discuss the MDCAT 2023 timetable and syllabus. Both would be finalized within 15 days, according to officials, and shared with candidates through official channels.
When will MDCAT 2023 be held?
According to reports, the MDCAT, which is necessary for admission to MBBS and BDS programmes at all public and private universities in the country, will be held in September 2023.
The PMDC has yet to set a date for the test.
Foreign nationals seeking the Pakistan Technical Assistance Programme (PTAP) as well as abroad Pakistanis must pass the test. Previously, MDCAT was administered at the national level, but it was decentralized last year, allowing provincial institutions to administer the test at the provincial level.
What is MDCAT Medical Admission Merit Formula 2023?
PMDC officials have also shared the merit formulas for those interested in taking MDCAT 2023. Following is the formula under which MDCAT holds 50 percent weightage;
Matric: 10%
FSc: 40%
MDCAT: 50%
National Medical & Dental College Admission Test (NMDCAT) (or National MDCAT) is a pen-and-paper-based test conducted in Pakistan and internationally each year for those who want to pursue undergraduate medical and dental education in Pakistan. It is a pre-requisite for admission to all medical and dental colleges (both public and private) in Pakistan.
NMDCAT is conducted annually by the Pakistan Medical Commission. In 2020, the test replaced the provincial medical entrance exams conducted in the past.
