Download PMDC MDCAT 2025-2026 Syllabus Here

In order to standardize the admission process, the Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PM&DC) has decided to conduct a uniform admission test for all medical and dental institutions in Pakistan. This will ensure that all candidates are given equal opportunity to perform.

This was a difficult task as the candidates appearing in this examination come from diverse backgrounds and different levels of education. One of the greatest challenges was to devise a common curriculum / syllabus which encompasses not only the content taught in the premedical years but to note the topics missing from various syllabus.

The MDCAT curriculum / syllabus will not favor any group or place another to any disadvantage. The 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. The MDCAT will be a standardized multiple-choice paper-based examination. It will also test the aspirants’ other abilities like intuitive and critical thinking skills.
