Ending speculation over the matter related to the entrance examination for admission to medical and dental colleges in Sindh, the caretaker provincial government on Sunday announced that the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) 2023 will be conducted afresh on November 19. .
According to Sindh Heath Department, MDCAT 2023 will be conducted again through Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS).
MDCAT-2023 will be held on November 19 from 10:30 am to 2 pm at the Karachi Expo Centre.
A spokesperson of the Sindh Health Department said that all candidates will have to undergo strict physical check-up before entering the examination hall and warned against bringing mobile phones, calculators and other electronic devices.
