Students from Balochistan who plan to pursue medical education have received encouraging news. Bolan University of Medical Sciences has decided to establish a separate MDCAT examination center in Islamabad for eligible candidates from the province.
The new examination center is expected to make it easier for students from Balochistan to appear in the MDCAT without facing unnecessary travel challenges. It will mainly benefit candidates who are living, studying, or staying in Islamabad and nearby areas.
According to official details, the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has already issued a public notice regarding the new examination center. The notice confirms that only candidates holding a valid domicile of Balochistan will be allowed to take the MDCAT at the Islamabad center.
The decision is aimed at providing greater convenience while ensuring that eligibility requirements remain unchanged. Students must possess a Balochistan domicile to qualify for this facility. Candidates from other provinces will continue to follow the existing examination arrangements.
The PMDC has also released the necessary instructions for applicants. All eligible candidates have been advised to complete their registration through the official PMDC online portal. Students should carefully enter their personal information and submit all required documents during the registration process.
Authorities have encouraged students to complete their applications as early as possible. Early registration can help candidates avoid technical issues or delays before the application deadline. Students are also advised to review all information before submitting their online forms.
The establishment of the Islamabad examination center is expected to provide relief to many students from Balochistan. Some candidates are already residing in Islamabad for educational or personal reasons. The new center will allow them to appear in the examination without returning to their home province.
The Medical and Dental College Admission Test is a mandatory entrance examination for students seeking admission to medical and dental colleges across Pakistan. Every year, thousands of students compete for limited seats in public and private institutions through the examination.
Officials have advised applicants to rely only on official PMDC announcements for updates regarding the examination schedule and registration process. Candidates should regularly check the official portal for important notifications and instructions.
