The Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) 2026 results have triggered major administrative reviews and student petitions across Pakistan. Federal authorities have launched formal inquiries into scoring patterns while regional examination bodies release official success ratios for medical and dental aspirants.

What is happening with the Sindh MDCAT 2026 results?

Sindh’s MDCAT 2026 results faced intense scrutiny following complaints regarding unusual score distributions. Federal Health Minister Mustafa Kamal directed the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) to conduct a detailed investigation. Testing was handled by Sukkur IBA Testing Services, which administered the test on September 20 and announced outcomes on September 28.

Questions arose after no candidate from Karachi Division appeared among the top 20 performers in Sindh. The highest score reached 179 out of 180 by a candidate from Shikarpur, while Tharparkar candidates scored 178. Other top positions emerged from Larkana, Qambar-Shahdadkot, Badin, Naushahro Feroze, Mirpurkhas, Shaheed Benazirabad, Sukkur, Hyderabad, Dadu, and Khairpur, with the first Karachi candidate appearing at position 21.

The federal health ministry instructed officials to perform a centre-by-centre analysis of the MDCAT results. This review covers:

• Total candidate counts per examination centre
• Mark distributions and pass rates
