For undergraduate admission to medical and dental colleges, the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC) administers the MDCAT, also known as the Medical and Dental College Admission Test.
The entrance exam measures candidates’ proficiency in English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The MDCAT exam typically consists of multiple-choice questions (MCQs), and it is administered using a computer.
