The revised schedule replaces the previous registration timeline announced earlier by the council. The extension is expected to benefit thousands of students who were unable to complete their applications before the original deadline.
The Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) is a mandatory entrance examination for students seeking admission to public and private medical and dental colleges across Pakistan. Only candidates who successfully register within the announced timeframe will be eligible to appear in the test.
Students are advised to complete the online registration form carefully, upload the required documents, and pay the prescribed fee before the closing date to avoid last-minute issues. Incomplete applications or submissions after the final deadline may not be accepted.
The PM&DC has also urged applicants to rely only on information published through its official website and verified communication channels. Candidates should regularly check for updates regarding the MDCAT 2026 test schedule, admit cards, test centers, and other important announcements.
