PESHAWAR – The caretaker cabinet of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has decided to re-conduct Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT 2023) following allegations of massive cheating in previous exam held on September 10, reports claimed.

A day earlier, KP Advocate General also informed the Peshawar High Court (PHC) about the decision when Justice Abdul Shakoor and Justice Syed Arshad Ali heard petitions filed against cheating in MDCAT 2023 exam.

Meanwhile, candidates, who have passed the test, and their parents are staging protest in Peshawar against the decision regarding retake of the test. They said it would be a win for mafia if the test is re-conducted.
