As of February 2025, the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has revised the passing criteria for the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) for admissions into MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) and BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) programs. The new standards are as follows:
-
MBBS Admissions: Candidates are now required to achieve a minimum of 50% marks in the MDCAT
-
BDS Admissions: For BDS admissions, the minimum passing marks have been set at 50%, up from the earlier 50% requirement
These changes aim to enhance the quality of medical education by raising the competency standards for incoming students. It's important to note that these revised passing marks are part of the eligibility criteria; meeting them does not guarantee admission, as final selections are based on a combination of MDCAT scores, academic records, and institutional merit policies. Prospective applicants should consult the official PMDC guidelines and the admission criteria of their chosen institutions for comprehensive and up-to-date information.
