The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has released the updated syllabus for the upcoming Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) 2025.
The MDCAT exam is tentatively scheduled to take place either in the final week of September or the first week of October every year.
The updated test will cover five key subjects: English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Logical Reasoning, meanwhile the revised syllabus is now available on the PMDC’s official website.
The exam will consist of 180 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and will last three hours. Notably, the test will carry no negative marking.
