MDCAT Registration Highlights

Latest Updates:

Updated October, 2026

Among the most important modifications, the new eligibility level among the MDCAT applicants should be mentioned. Since 2026 the applicants will be required to score a minimum of 65 percent in FSc (Pre-Medical) or a similar certificate in order to take the test. In the past, this was lowered to 60 percent. This revision seeks to improve the standard of academics and make sure that not all students are admired in medical and dental schools, only those that are well prepared.

Moreover, PMDC has also come up with provincial alignment policy, and this policy requires the applicant to have matriculation, intermediate, and domicile certificate of the same province where they intend to take the MDCAT. Dr. Abid writes that this action will ease the administrative coordination contact and help to decrease the inter-provincial seat conflicts. It will also increase equity in regional seat allocation and surveillance whereby opportunities are even among local candidates.
