MDCAT 2026 Retake in Sindh May Happen After Inquiry

The possibility of reconducting the MDCAT 2026 in Sindh is now under consideration following concerns about alleged irregularities during the medical entrance examination.

Amir Chishti, Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Health, said that the test could be held again in Sindh if the committees inquiry establishes that negligence or other serious lapses occurred.

Speaking to a news channel, Chishti said the decision regarding a retake would depend on the findings of the investigation. He made it clear that the examination would be reconducted in the province if the inquiry confirms the reported irregularities.

MDCAT 2026 Retake Decision Linked to Inquiry

According to Chishti, complaints concerning the MDCAT process have once again emerged from Sindh, particularly Karachi. He recalled that similar allegations regarding a paper leak had been raised in the province around two years ago.

The committee is now examining whether comparable problems occurred during the current MDCAT examination.

No final decision to reconduct the examination has been announced at this stage. The outcome will depend on the findings and recommendations of the inquiry committee.

Concerns Over MDCAT Irregularities in Sindh

Chishti said the reported situation, particularly in Karachi, has raised serious concerns about the credibility of the examination process.

The inquiry is expected to examine the circumstances at different testing centres and determine whether students faced any unfairness or administrative shortcomings.

He also highlighted concerns about educational facilities available to students in different parts of Sindh. According to his remarks, some government schools in areas including Mirpurkhas, Sukkur and Thar face poor conditions.

Despite these challenges, he said students who achieve strong positions in competitive examinations from such institutions deserve recognition for their hard work.

Responsibility of PMDC and Sindh Government

Chishti said that if the inquiry proves that serious irregularities took place, responsibility would fall on the relevant authorities, including the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council PMDC and the Sindh government.

He questioned why those responsible for earlier complaints were not dealt with appropriately and stressed that students who prepare for MDCAT through their own hard work should not be disadvantaged by weaknesses in the examination system.

The committees investigation is therefore expected to focus not only on what happened at individual centres but also on whether the authorities responsible for conducting and supervising the examination fulfilled their duties.

Inquiry to Review Testing Centres

The Senate Standing Committee on Health has directed the Ministry of Health to establish an inquiry panel to investigate the MDCAT-related complaints.

The investigation will examine several aspects of the examination process in Sindh, including:

The number of students who appeared at different testing centres.
The circumstances reported at those centres.
The facilities available to candidates.
Whether any irregularities or administrative lapses occurred.
The role of the relevant testing authorities.
Whether students were treated fairly during the examination.

The committee has also directed the inquiry team to visit IBA Sukkur and coordinate with the testing service involved in the examination process.

Investigation Team to Visit Sukkur

A four-member professional inquiry team has reportedly departed from Islamabad and is expected to reach Sukkur on Friday.

The team will gather information and examine the circumstances surrounding the MDCAT examination in Sindh. Its findings will be important in determining whether the complaints have sufficient evidence to warrant further action.

The inquiry will ultimately provide the committee with a basis for deciding what steps should be taken regarding the examination.

Equal Treatment for Students Across Sindh

Chishti stressed that students from Karachi and interior Sindh should receive equal treatment.

He said students from different parts of the province should have the same opportunities and that no group of candidates should be considered superior to another.

The concern is particularly important for MDCAT candidates because admission to medical colleges depends heavily on performance in the entrance examination. Any proven irregularity could therefore have a direct impact on students competing for medical education opportunities.

What Happens After the Inquiry?

The future of MDCAT 2026 in Sindh will be decided after the inquiry committee completes its investigation and submits its report.

If the inquiry confirms significant negligence or irregularities, the examination could be reconducted in the province. If the allegations are not substantiated, the authorities would determine the next course of action based on the inquirys findings.

At present, students should therefore avoid treating a retake as a confirmed decision. The possibility has been linked specifically to the outcome of the investigation.

Chishti also said that, according to the information available to the committee, no similar MDCAT complaints have been received from other parts of the country, with the reported concerns limited to Sindh.
