The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has announced new examination centres for MDCAT 2025 to help students from remote areas appear for the test more easily. This change aims to reduce the long journeys and expenses that candidates from Sindh and Balochistan often face.
Under the revised plan, students from these provinces can now take the exam in Islamabad. Jacobabad has been added as a new centre for candidates from upper Sindh who previously had to travel to Karachi, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Larkana, Shaheed Benazirabad or Sukkur.
Furthermore, Sukkur IBA University and Bolan University of Medical and Health Sciences, Quetta will establish a new test centre in Islamabad. This will especially help students living in the federal capital who are preparing for the exam as they no longer need to return to their home provinces.

Dr. Asif Ahmed Shaikh, Vice Chancellor of Sukkur IBA University, recalled that the university successfully conducted a retake last year after a paper leak in Sindh. Despite limited preparation time, the exam was held fairly and minor technical issues were resolved quickly.
A PMDC spokesperson confirmed that registration for MDCAT 2025 opened on August 8 and will continue until August 25. Late registration is available until September 1, 2025.
