The candidates who registered have already received their admit cards, and measures have been taken to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of the exam, including codal requirements that must be followed.
The PMDC is dedicated to preserving the highest level of transparency and guaranteeing the safe execution of the examination in cooperation with governmental bodies and security organisations.
The PMDC President reaffirmed the implementation of stringent monitoring procedures, which will include the execution of Section 144 at all test locations.
Legal action will be taken right away for any infractions. At every centre, cutting-edge surveillance technology will be used to preserve the integrity of the exam.
Candidates have been cautioned that participating in unethical behaviour, such cheating, could result in harsh consequences.
Dedicated monitoring systems and specialised investigation teams will guarantee impartiality during the assessment.
The PMDC has reaffirmed that it will not tolerate any form of malpractice or corruption. For the MDCAT, 167,744 students had registered in total.
58,380 candidates from Punjab, 38,678 from Sindh, 42,329 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 5,806 from Balochistan, 18,408 from Islamabad, 3,145 from Azad Kashmir, and 739 from Gilgit-Baltistan are among the candidates who have registered. There will also be 259 overseas students taking the test.
