The Institute of Business Administration (IBA) in Sukkur has proposed to the Sindh Health Department that the Medical & Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) take place on December 1.

Preparations are underway, with experts engaged to develop a question database. The health department has submitted a report to the Sindh High Court through the provincial advocate general, detailing the agreement with IBA Sukkur and the extension granted for conducting the test.

The Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PMDC) has appointed its Controller of Examinations, Imdad Khushak, as the focal point for the MDCAT, while the health department has designated its Deputy Health Secretary, Zohaib Hasan Sheikh, for the same role.

Additionally, IBA Sukkur has requested the PMDC to reduce the number of options in the multiple-choice questions (MCQs) from five to four, in line with current practices.

The MDCAT conducted by Dow University of Health Sciences and other provinces offered five options, whereas IBA Sukkur’s tests for various departments have typically provided four options.
