National University of Medical Sciences (NUMS) endeavors to set supreme bench mark for the NUMS Entry Test for admission to its Constituent, Affiliated and all Military (Armed Forces) Administered Medical and Dental Colleges.

To afford level playing field to all the aspiring candidates, the minimum criteria for the syllabus is the "must know knowledge", based on the common topics approved by various curriculum regulatory authorities in Pakistan. At the same time, being highly competitive examination, the candidates are advised to have a broad-based study and not restrict themselves to limited syllabi only. One of the greatest challenges was to devise a common syllabus which encompasses not only the content taught in the premedical years but to note the topics missing from various syllabi.

The NUMS MDCAT syllabus will not favor any group or place another to any disadvantage. NUMS MDCAT is designed to evaluate the problem solving, critical thinking, and knowledge of natural, behavioral, and social sciences concepts and principles of a candidate required to the study of medicine.

NUMS MDCAT will be a standardized multiple-choice paper-based examination. NUMS MDCAT will also test the aspirants‟ other abilities like intuitive and critical thinking skills. Whereas the subject contents are quality assured through diverse and experienced faculty, the Psychological test component of NUMS MDCAT evaluates a candidate from the perspective of aptitude and mental robustness to face the highly challenging medical studies.
