Islamabad – The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) is expected to conduct the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) 2025 in July, following the completion of FSc exams. There are indications that the exam may be computer-based and conducted over 15 to 30 days, though an official announcement is still awaited.
If implemented, this shift to a paperless exam would aim to enhance transparency, reduce logistical challenges, and streamline the admission process for medical and dental colleges in Pakistan. However, the final schedule and testing centers have yet to be confirmed.
Many students have mixed reactions to the possibility of a computer-based test. Ayesha Khan, an aspiring medical student, shared her thoughts: “If the MDCAT goes digital, it will be a big change. I hope PMDC provides practice tests so students can adapt to the new format.”
Experts believe that a transition to a computer-based exam would align Pakistan’s medical admission process with international standards. PMDC is expected to release detailed guidelines if the change is officially approved, ensuring students have ample time to prepare.
