In September 2023, over 180,000 candidates appeared for the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) in Pakistan. The examination was conducted on September 10th, with students vying for merit seats in medical and dental colleges across the country.
The test was held under the supervision of the council, with provincial public admitting universities serving as the venues. To accommodate the large number of candidates, the examination was conducted in approximately 31 cities across Pakistan. This strategic decision was made to facilitate the maximum number of candidates.
Earlier, the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) had announced a special MDCAT for students from areas affected by floods. However, this decision was later reversed, and these students also appeared for the regular exam.
As of now, the PMDC has not officially announced a specific date for the release of the MDCAT Results 2023. Media reports suggest that the results could be declared on either September 13 or September 15. Candidates are advised to check the University of Health Sciences (UHS) portal for the latest updates.
To check their results online, medical aspirants can visit the official website of PMDC and enter their roll number. The link to the results page is https://pmdc.pk/result/MDCATResult. It is also reported that candidates will be informed about their results via email.
In an unfortunate incident related to the MDCAT 2023, several female students were among dozens arrested for cheating during the test. Further details about this incident are yet to be released.
As the medical aspirants await their results, they are advised to stay updated through the official channels and avoid any misinformation.
