The final results of the Medical and Dental Colleges Admission Test (MDCAT) 2024 retake, compiled by IBA Sukkur, show that only 10 students from Karachi ranked in the top 100.
According to the results, just 43.29 percent of Karachi candidates passed the test for MBBS admissions, while 50.66 percent of candidates qualified for BDS.
A total of 32,200 students took the MDCAT 2024 retake.
The highest score of 192 marks was achieved by students from Ranipur, Badin, Khairpur, and Tharparkar.
It is worth mentioning here that the IBA Sukkur accepted to conduct the MDCAT 2024 retake following the IBA Karachi declined to conduct the MDCAT 2024.
The Chief Minister, Murad Ali Shah, chaired a meeting of the Sindh Cabinet, where it was decided that IBA Sukkur will conduct the MDCAT 2024 test.
The decision follows concerns over transparency and previous issues with test paper leaks, which had reached the Sindh High Court.
During the meeting, it was briefed that the MDCAT test has been conducted since 2017-18 in major cities including Karachi, Hyderabad, and Larkana, and faced scrutiny when 160 out of 200 test questions allegedly leaked on social media, raising questions about the integrity of the process.
