LAHORE – Admissions for MBBS and BDS programmes have been stopped on court orders after controversial Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) results, the regulatory authority said.

Pakistan Medical and Dental Council issued medical and dental colleges across the country to halt admissions for 2024 academic year in light of the ruling of Sindh High Court (SHC) and Islamabad High Court (IHC).

After the court ruling, the enrollment process for MBBS and BDS programs will remain suspended until the courts reach a resolution. The development comes in wake of irregularities in MDCAT, as students lamented paper leak and out of syllabus exam.

Amid the current circumstances, admissions cannot proceed until courts make final decision on the matter. In response to the allegations, several petitions were filed in the Sindh High Court, prompting a temporary suspension of the admission process.

MDCAT Paper Leak

This controversy started over the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) in Sindh, with a joint action committee (JAC) alleging that the exam paper was leaked on social media, claiming 184 out of 200 questions matched the official test taken by over 38,000 candidates on September 22.

Doctors bodies also called for an probe, leading to student protests outside DUHS and other vasities. JAC demands an impartial inquiry and threatens further protests if no action is taken soon. They also suggest transferring exam administration to reputable institutions and advocate for online testing.

Concerns include unusually high scores from some candidates and allegations of private exam sessions for those who paid large sums. DUHS has not yet responded to these claims.
