Pakistan Medical and Dental Council PMDC is holding a meeting for MDCAT post-exam analysis. Students are complaining about out of syllabus MCQS, wrong answer keys by UHS, JSMU, and ETEA, and the use of unfair means in ETEA test centers. #reconductMDCAT is trending on Twitter due to these reasons, and students are demanding grace marks and re-conduct of MDCAT 2023.
Over 180,000 students appeared in MDCAT 2023 in national and international exam centers in Pakistan, UAE, and KSA. After a number of complaints from the students and parents, PMDC has decided to conduct the post-exam analysis of MDCAT/
