If MDCAT Is Re-Conducted in Sindh: What Candidates Should Do Right Now

On 2 October, the chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Health said MDCAT 2026 will be re-conducted in Sindh if negligence is proven in the committee's inquiry. On 8 October, PMDC asked the Sindh government for an independent inquiry and a report within two weeks.

So where does that leave the roughly 33,000 candidates who sat the exam in Sindh? In limbo, but not helpless. This guide explains how to stay ready without losing your mind to rumours.

• No retake has been ordered. The statement was conditional: if negligence is proven.
• No date, format or eligibility rule exists for any retake.
• No finding has been published by the inquiry in the sources we reviewed.

Anyone posting a "confirmed retake date" is guessing. Wait for a notice from PMDC, the Sindh health department or the administering university.

Scenario	What it would likely mean for you
Results stand	Proceed with admissions using your current score
Partial correction	Some results revised; check notices for your centre or paper
Full retake	New paper at short notice; your 20 September score may be replaced

Your best plan is one that works in all three: keep your documents safe, keep revising, and keep your preference list ready.

Keep digital and printed copies of:

• Admit card and roll number slip
• MDCAT 2026 result card
• Carbon copy of your response sheet and question paper
• CNIC or B-Form, domicile, matric and FSc results
• Any emails or portal confirmations

If a dispute or a retake follows, these documents are your evidence and your entry ticket.

This assumes you need to be exam-ready at short notice. Adjust to your strengths.

Week 1: Close the gaps

• Re-read your section-wise mistakes from 20 September if you kept your paper.
• Rebuild the three weakest units with chapter-wise MCQs in Tutor Mode.
• Review formulas, reactions and definitions from your short notes.

Week 2: Mixed practice

• Solve mixed-topic sets daily, with a timer.
• Use Sindh and other board past papers to see question styles.
• Keep an error log and re-solve every miss two days later.

Week 3: Exam simulation

• Take two or three full-length 180-question papers under a three-hour limit.
• Practise your pacing: roughly one minute per question.
• Revise your error log; stop learning new material in the last two days.

• Attempt every question. MDCAT 2026 had no negative marking; confirm the rule in any new notice.
• Do a first pass for sure marks, then return to harder questions.
• Check the paper code and mark your sheet carefully.
• Keep your carbon copy and photograph your admit card details.
• Arrive early; centre arrangements were a major complaint this year, so expect queues and plan transport.

• Unofficial "leaked paper" or "retake date" posts
• Anyone offering to guarantee marks or "change" results for money
• Heated political arguments that can drain your focus
• Screenshots of unofficial merit lists

Waiting is stressful. Sleep properly, take breaks and talk to family or friends. If anxiety is affecting your sleep or daily life, speak to a trusted adult or a health professional. You are more than an exam score.
