MDCAT 2026 Results Endorsed: National Assembly Committee Tells Universities to Start Admissions

Medical and dental admissions in Pakistan can now move ahead. The National Assembly Standing Committee on Health has endorsed the MDCAT 2026 results, telling universities to start their admission processes without creating further uncertainty for students. The MDCAT 2026 results endorsed decision came at the committee’s meeting on 11 November 2026, after it reviewed complaints about the examination and heard from university vice-chancellors and the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council.

The committee’s decision matters because the complaints had left thousands of MDCAT candidates unsure whether the results would stand. With the endorsement in place, universities can publish merit lists and complete admissions, and the committee has also asked for a transparency reform in future examinations.

• Reason: Sharing question papers will improve transparency in the testing process and reduce disputes over answer keys.
• Candidate Benefit: Students will be able to check their answers against the official paper instead of relying on recalled questions.

Next Steps for MDCAT Candidates

• Prepare Documents: Keep your MDCAT result, Intermediate mark sheet, domicile and other admission documents ready.
• Check Private College Fees: Private medical colleges must stay within the approved fee limits, and the PMDC has acted against 45 colleges for overcharging.
• Use Official Sources: Trust university admission offices and PMDC announcements, not unofficial lists on social media.

Conclusion

The National Assembly health committee’s endorsement of the MDCAT 2026 results clears the way for medical and dental admissions across Pakistan, and its demand that question papers be shared after future exams should make the test more transparent. Candidates should now watch their universities’ admission notices and keep their documents ready for the merit lists.
