The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has extended the registration deadline for the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT), providing candidates with additional time to complete their application process. Under the revised schedule, students can register for the entrance examination by paying the regular fee until July 13, while applications submitted with a late fee will be accepted until July 18.
Revised Deadlines and Fee Structure
According to the PMDC, the original deadline was extended to accommodate candidates who faced difficulties in completing their registrations on time. The council has urged prospective medical and dental students to complete their registrations within the revised deadlines to avoid any inconvenience or delays. Candidates are advised to visit the official PMDC website for detailed instructions and payment procedures.
Impact on Medical and Dental Admissions
The MDCAT is a mandatory requirement for admission to medical and dental colleges across Pakistan. The extension is expected to benefit thousands of students who were unable to register due to technical issues or other constraints. PMDC officials emphasized that no further extensions will be granted after July 18.
“We understand the challenges students face, and this extension aims to ensure no deserving candidate is left out,” a PMDC spokesperson said. “We encourage all eligible students to register promptly and avoid last-minute delays.”
Instructions for Candidates
Candidates must ensure they meet all eligibility criteria before applying. The PMDC has also reminded students to keep copies of their fee challans and registration confirmations for future reference. For any queries, candidates can contact the PMDC helpline or visit their regional offices.
