Overview
An APP report dated 3 October 2026 described a federal health ministry direction for a five-member committee, including the PMDC president, to examine complaints about Sindh MDCAT. This is a review, not a finding of wrongdoing, and no result has been reported as cancelled in the sources we checked.
What was reported
According to a 3 October 2026 report, Federal Health Minister Mustafa Kamal directed a five-member committee, including the PMDC president, to investigate the complaints. The test was held on 20 September and Sukkur IBA Testing Services announced results on 28 September. This article does not infer candidate guilt from score patterns or repeat unverified gender-wise success counts.
The reports describe complaints, not proven misconduct. Do not identify candidates or centres as responsible without an official finding.
What an inquiry may examine
The following are examples of evidence that a result inquiry can examine; they are not a quotation of an official terms-of-reference document.
- Centre-by-centre numbers: candidates, marks, pass rates and high scores.
- Attendance sheets, seating plans and examination centre records.
- The result data used to compile the results.
- Whether any candidate gained an unfair advantage, including whether someone appeared on behalf of a registered candidate.
The APP report described a 15-day reporting period. This is not an announced admission deadline or guaranteed report-publication date; follow the official order and subsequent notices.
What this means for candidates
There are several possible outcomes, and none has been decided. The review could find nothing, lead to action against specific centres or individuals, or lead to corrections. Candidates should not assume any particular outcome.
- If you sat the Sindh test honestly, keep your admit card, score card, CNIC copy and all fee receipts. These protect you in any verification.
- Do not pay anyone who claims to "fix" or "confirm" a result. Scams spread fast during controversies.
- Continue preparing your admission documents. Application windows may still open on their normal schedule.
- Follow only official notices from PMDC and the testing university for changes.
What this means for other provinces
The inquiry as reported concerns Sindh. Punjab's UHS result, announced 24 September, was not named in the reports we found. Students outside Sindh do not need to take action beyond normal admission steps.
Why verification matters for MDCAT integrity
MDCAT is the single largest factor in medical merit, carrying 50% of the aggregate. A small number of irregular results can move many honest students down the list, which is why regulators investigate patterns such as unusual score clusters and impersonation.
