October 30, 2024Students at Sindh’s dental and medical schools will experience yet another devastating setback. You have only four weeks to retake the MDCAT 2024, according to the Sindh High Court. Following the hearing of petitions challenging purported irregularities in the MDCAT 2024 administered for admission to public medical and dental schools, the Sindh High Court ordered a retake of the exam within four weeks. After hearing rumors of a paper leak in Sindh, the decision to retake the MDCAT was made. Also, we wanted to inform you that the prior year’s MDCAT 2023 was leaked, so students had to retake the exam. Yeah, it’s still going on this year. Read on for additional details regarding the order from the Sindh High Court.
Problems with the MDCAT Calls for Intervention from the Court
The judgment from the Sindh High Court follows several appeals that have brought attention to possible irregularities and problems with the MDCAT exam. At the hearing, the court cast doubt on the work of the committee assigned to the investigation, which Shireen Narejo chaired. The Sindh Court further investigated the suspected examination process corruption after it voiced its displeasure with the committee’s progress.
Shireen Narejo, who chairs the committee, reported on the results. She informed the court that the committee had analyzed the petitioners’ statements and evidence and evaluated Dow University’s examination procedure. Shireen Narejo reports that several students voiced concerns about the validity of the MDCAT 2024 exam and that an investigation into the matter found systemic issues at Dow University involving around forty people.
Proof of MDCAT Exposure and FIA Investigation
The Sindh court raised concerns about the possible leak of the MDCAT paper as it reviewed the probe’s findings. Shireen Narejo acknowledged that there may have been breaches because a number of exam-related questions and answers made their way through WhatsApp.
After these details came to light, the Sindh High Court questioned the FIA’s involvement in the investigation. According to FIA authorities, the forensic investigation of devices used in the test revealed erased communications, suggesting possible manipulation of the paper leak evidence.
Criticism of the MDCAT Exam Procedure
The Sindh High Court also voiced concerns regarding Dow University’s competency in delivering the MDCAT exam. According to reports, college instructors were involved in developing the exam questionnaire, and Justice Salahuddin Panhwar raised doubts about the processes involved. While condemning what it saw as an inclusive admissions procedure, the court also pointed out that the present MDCAT test design could disadvantage kids from lower-income families due to the high exam cost.
An Analysis of PMDC’s Function and Duties
Another entity that came under scrutiny from the court was the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC). The court questioned the PMDC’s ability to oversee the MDCAT, asking why the organization outsourced the administration and whether it used rigorous measures to guarantee fairness. PMDC’s legal team has highlighted that the province has authority over administering the MDCAT exam and is willing to comply with any court judgment.
MDCAT 2024 Retake Ordered by Court
The Sindh High Court’s decision that the MDCAT must be administered fairly and equitably was obvious. The court has mandated a retake of the MDCAT within four weeks to level the playing field for dentistry and medical school admissions. This ruling attempts to resolve the petitioners’ grievances and maintain the honesty of the admissions process at dental and medical schools in Sindh province.
To comply with the High Court’s directives, the PMDC and the appropriate educational institutions must immediately prepare for the forthcoming MDCAT retest fairly and openly. This MDCAT 2024 retake aims to ensure that all applicants wishing to enroll in the province’s public dentistry and medical schools have an equal opportunity.
Sindh Announces New MDCAT Date for 2024

The date for the MDCAT retake has not yet been decided, and we regret to inform you of this. It is also unknown which Sindh university or institution will be responsible for administering the MDCAT retake. We anticipate making additional announcements soon on the MDCAT test date and the medical university that will be in charge of the program.
