KARACHI: The Sindh High Court has ordered a suspension of the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) results due to allegations of irregularities in the examinations process.
A committee has been tasked with gathering records from relevant institutions and preparing a report, while the Federal Investigation Agency (FAI) will investigate the matter.
During a hearing led by Justice Salahuddin Panhwar, concerns about the fairness of the results were discussed, particularly regarding over 1,100 students scoring 187 marks.
Justice Panhwar noted the unusual number of students achieving high scores and called for a comparison with results from Punjab and KP.
