Pakistan's #1 Platform for MDCAT Success

MDCAT (Medical and Dental College Admission Test) is conducted by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC). It is mandatory for admission into MBBS and BDS programs at all public and private medical colleges in Pakistan. The test is 200 MCQs covering Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and English.

MDCAT 2026 is expected to be held in August–September 2026, following PMDC's schedule. Results are typically announced within 2–3 weeks of the test. Starting preparation early — ideally by January 2026 — gives you the best chance to cover the full syllabus.

MDCAT 2026 consists of four subjects: Biology (80 MCQs), Chemistry (60 MCQs), Physics (30 MCQs), and English (30 MCQs) — 200 MCQs in total with a duration of 3.5 hours. There is no negative marking.

The minimum passing score is 65% (130 out of 200). However, competitive medical colleges like DOW, KEMU, and Aga Khan University typically require scores of 170+ for admission. Aiming for 180+ significantly improves your chances.

Most successful students spend 6–12 months preparing. Starting in January or February gives you time to cover the entire MDCAT syllabus, practice thousands of MCQs, and sit multiple full-length mock tests before the exam in August–September.

The most effective strategy combines daily live classes from expert teachers, consistent MCQ practice (aiming for 100+ MCQs per day), weekly full-length mock tests, and personalised review of weak areas. Maqsad's MDCAT batch structures all of this for you with Pakistan's top-rated teachers.
