Overview
- PMDC updated its schedule to allow regular-fee MDCAT 2026 registrations through July 13 and registrations with the prescribed late fee through July 18.
- Officials described the revision as targeted relief for candidates who missed the prior deadline and said they expect it to help thousands secure the chance to sit the exam.
- PMDC urged applicants to complete their filings well before the new cutoffs to avoid payment problems, document errors, or other technical delays.
- MDCAT is the required national test for entry to public and private medical and dental colleges in Pakistan and typically draws thousands of contenders for limited seats.
- The extension could increase demand on PMDC’s processing and verification work, so candidates should watch for additional notices and confirm their payment and documents after submission.
