Sindh:
Institute of Business Administration (IBA) SUKKUR will now conduct the medical and dental College Admission Test (MDCAT), which replaces individual universities in a major shift in the medical and dental admission process.
The decision was made during a SINDH Cabinet meeting on Thursday, which also discussed the implementation of a comprehensive admission policy across all medical and dental colleges in the province.
Last year, the MDCAT gene intake exam was successfully conducted over SINDH in accordance with the directives from Sindh High Court by IBA SUKKUR.
A total of 38,684 candidates participated in the re -consuming exam, which was held at the same time in six cities: Karachi, Hyderabad, Jamshoro, Shaheed Benazirabad, Larkana and Sukkur. Security and logistic support were provided by provincial and district authorities together with agencies such as FIA and Intelligence (IB). IBA SUKKUR made sure that fool -proof events were in place for the smooth behavior of the exam.

According to a spokesman for the Sindh Chief Minister, the new policy will apply just to both public and private sector institutions, where the provincial health department continues to regulate footage.
At present, the public sector offers 2,550 MBBs and 500 BDS seats, while the private sector has 1,441 MBBs and 2,025 dentists.
Main Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah said the change follows irregularities in the previous MDCAT. He emphasized that transparency and profits in admission policy are the government’s highest priorities.
