Is MDCAT 2022 Delayed After Floods in Pak?
The Medical and Dental College (MDCAT) entrance test 2022 and National Licensing Examination (NLE) would be delayed due to flooding in the country, the National Health Services (NHS) Standing Committee has ruled. The Pakistan Medical Board had announced 7th September as the start date for PMC MDCAT 2022, but due to recent flash flooding, the NHS Standing Committee decided to postpone the study by a few weeks.

A week ago, the health authorities of Sindh and Balochistan sent letters to PMC for postponing the MDCAT 2022 test due to the devastation caused by the floods in Pakistan. After that, the federal government also asked PMC to postpone and reschedule the MDCAT and NLE exams.
These letters were written for the safety of midshipmen and medical students during the floods, as almost all road and rail networks in Balochistan have been shut down.
MDCAT 2022 Delay, Nothing New For Applicants:
Postponing or rescheduling medical entrance tests is nothing new for applicants as it has been an iterative process for many years. Currently, the MDCAT 2022 is expected to be delayed by a maximum of one to two weeks as the flooding situation across the country normalizes.
Student’s Roll Numbers Removed From The PMC Website:
On Friday morning, August 26th, the Pakistan Medical Commission issued serial number sheets to students for medical entrance exams, and some time ago some students complained about the removal of the serial number sheets which they had already downloaded from the PMC website.

Applicants are advised to follow their MDCAT syllabus according to the above flow and not allow procrastination to disrupt their rhythm.
