ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has revised the syllabus for the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) 2025 and has officially uploaded it on its website.

The PMDC stated that the new syllabus will serve as the core framework for the upcoming MDCAT examination.

The new syllabus includes five key subjects – Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, and Logical Reasoning – with focus on conceptual understanding and critical thinking.

“The MDCAT will be a standardized multiple-choice paper-based examination,” the medical council said.

The exam will consist of a total of 180 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), which will be answered in three hours. The questions will be categorised as 15% easy, 70% moderate, and 15% difficult. No negative marking will be applied, the statement added.

The MCQs will be weighted as 81 from Biology, 45 from Chemistry, 36 from Physics, 9 from English, and 9 from logical reasoning.

According to the PMDC, candidates must achieve a minimum of 55% marks to qualify for admission to medical colleges and 50% marks for admission in dental colleges.

The test is likely to be held on the last Sunday of September or the first Sunday of October 2025. However, the final date will be announced in a couple of days following consultations with admitting universities.
