MDCAT Guide!
If you dream of becoming a doctor in Pakistan, then the Medical & Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) is a critical first step. This paper-based exam is the gateway for students who want to pursue undergraduate medical and dental education in Pakistan. Whether you plan to study at public or private colleges, a strong performance on the MDCAT is essential. In this guide, we will explain the exam’s importance, history, and structure, provide detailed study tips and resources, and introduce you to the best preparation packages from Tabir Academy and Dogar Brothers.
The MDCAT exam is more than just a test—it is a key that opens the door to a medical career in Pakistan.
- What Is MDCAT?
MDCAT is a paper-based test conducted annually by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council. It evaluates your knowledge in subjects such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, and Logical Reasoning. - History & Changes:
In 2020, MDCAT replaced the previous provincial medical entrance exams. In 2023, after the dissolution of the PMC, the exam became a provincial-level test. For example, the test in Punjab is now conducted by the University of Health Sciences (UHS) Lahore, in KPK by Khyber Medical University (KMU), and in Balochistan by Bolan University of Medical and Health Sciences Quetta (BUMHS). - Significance:
A good MDCAT score is required for admission to over 30 medical and dental colleges across Pakistan. These include well-known institutions such as King Edward Medical University, Allama Iqbal Medical College, and many others. - Eligibility Criteria for MDCAT
To be eligible for the MDCAT, candidates need a minimum score of 60% in their SSC and HSSC exams. The closing merit typically exceeds 85%. Only students with a background in physics, chemistry, and biology are eligible; those in ICS, F.Sc. (Pre-Engineering), or ICOM are not. There’s no age limit, making the test accessible to candidates of any gender or age.
