LHC Orders Immediate Upload of MDCAT 2026 Question Papers

The Lahore High Court (LHC) has issued a directive requiring the mandatory uploading of all MDCAT 2026 question papers and their corresponding codes on the official University of Health Sciences (UHS) website. This order aims to maintain transparency throughout the medical and dental college admission process across Pakistan.

What the Court Ordered

Justice Ahsan Raza Kazmi issued the ruling on October 17, 2026, following petitions filed by students concerning the examination. The court held that removing question papers from the official website restricts the ability of students to verify their performance and file necessary objections, which contradicts the principle of transparency.

Accessing MDCAT Papers

Authorities are now required to keep the question papers and codes publicly available on the official portal for the entire duration of the admission cycle. This ensures that any candidate who identifies a discrepancy in the marking or the question content has the opportunity to raise a formal objection before final merit lists are generated.

Why This Ruling Matters

The MDCAT is the primary entrance examination for medical and dental colleges in the country. By keeping the examination materials accessible, the court seeks to hold the examining bodies accountable and provide a fair pathway for students during the critical admission phase. Students are encouraged to monitor the official UHS website to review these materials as they become available.
