Lawmakers in the Sindh Assembly demanded on Wednesday that the results of the MDCAT (Medical and Dental Colleges’ Admission Test) recently held by the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC) should be rescinded as questions of the pre-entry examination were “out of syllabus”, and the province as per the constitution should again be authorised to conduct the test, instead.
The concerned MPAs were speaking on an adjournment motion of a lawmaker of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party Marvi Faseeh, on the recent controversy surrounding the MDCAT conducted by the PMC, which allegedly affected Sindh-based students in a large number who wanted to get admissions to medical colleges.
