MDCAT

Planned

PMDC (Pakistan Medical and Dental Council)

The national test for medical and dental admission, regulated by PMDC.

MDCAT (Medical and Dental College Admission Test) is regulated by PMDC and run as a single National MDCAT.

PMDC itself has publicly flagged misinformation circulating about MDCAT test dates — always confirm the current date directly on PMDC’s own site rather than a coaching-site calendar.

Testing cadence

PMDC runs National MDCAT once a year — but PMDC has flagged its own 2026 date as rescheduled and warned about misinformation, so always confirm on pmdc.pk rather than a coaching calendar.

Why prepare for MDCAT with eStudyGate

Timed, full-length mocks built to the real section structure and pacing — not disconnected practice questions.
Every answer is blind-verified and comes with an explanation for every option, not just the correct one.
Analytics that show exactly where marks are lost — by topic, by mistake type, by pacing under pressure.
A percentile rank against other test-takers, so "74%" turns into "you’d beat 8 out of 10 candidates."
Affordable, mobile-first, and built for Pakistan’s exams specifically — not a generic imported test bank.

MDCAT prep is coming.

We're building MDCAT the same way as GAT — timed mocks, weak-topic analytics, a percentile rank. Join the list and we'll tell you the moment it's ready.

For current test dates and the latest official notices, always check the regulator's own site — test dates change often and we'd rather send you to the source than risk a stale one.
