MDCAT 2024 Results Are Out: Top Performers and Key Statistics

MDCAT 2024

Khyber Medical University (KMU) has officially announced the results of the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT). This year’s results highlighted the achievements of two top-performing students who secured the highest score of 194 marks, reflecting their exceptional performance in the highly competitive exam.

Out of the 41,671 candidates who appeared for the MDCAT on September 22, a total of 670 students managed to score more than 181 marks.

This reflects the growing competition among aspiring medical professionals in Pakistan, as thousands of students vie for limited seats in medical and dental colleges across the country.

The MDCAT was conducted nationwide under the supervision of the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC). To ensure a secure and smooth testing process, the University of Health Sciences (UHS) had coordinated with law enforcement agencies, requesting tight security measures at the examination centers.

A total of 26 examination centers were set up in 12 cities across Punjab to accommodate the 58,380 candidates registered for the test. Among them, 40,364 were female candidates, while 18,016 were male.

In Lahore alone, eight examination centers were designated for the test, with six centers allocated exclusively for female candidates and two for males.

Over 4,000 teachers were deployed across all centers for supervisory duties, with 1,000 of them stationed in Lahore to oversee the smooth administration of the test.

However, the examination process did not proceed without incidents of mismanagement and student unrest. At NED University in Karachi, six candidates were barred from entering the exam hall.

One of the barred candidates was a student involved in a traffic accident who arrived despite her injuries. Despite her pleas, the university administration refused her entry, leading to an emotional scene at the gate as she broke down in tears.

Other students were also seen visibly upset after being denied entry when the gates were closed ahead of the scheduled time. Parents expressed frustration and outrage at the early closures, which prevented several students from taking the test.

In another incident, a female candidate reportedly attempted to enter the exam hall through a restricted area reserved for girls after being turned away at the main gate.

These instances of mismanagement left many parents and students questioning the fairness and transparency of the process, as they expressed their concerns over the treatment of candidates and the apparent lack of proper organization.

Despite these challenges, the MDCAT results reflect a highly competitive pool of students, with the top performers continuing their journey toward securing a place in Pakistan’s prestigious medical and dental colleges.
