The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PM&DC) has extended the registration deadline for the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) 2026, providing aspiring medical and dental students with additional time to complete their applications.
The revised schedule was announced through a public notice issued by the council on July 8, 2026.
Revised MDCAT 2026 Registration Schedule
According to PM&DC, candidates can now register according to the following timeline:
| Registration Category | New Deadline |
|---|---|
| Registration with Regular Fee | July 13, 2026 |
| Registration with Late Fee | July 18, 2026 |
The updated schedule replaces the council’s earlier registration notice issued on June 19, 2026.
Extra Time for Applicants
The extension gives students who were unable to complete their applications before the original deadline another opportunity to register for Pakistan’s national medical entrance examination.
MDCAT is a mandatory requirement for admission to public and private medical and dental colleges across the country.
PM&DC Advisory
PM&DC has advised all applicants to:
- Complete their online registration before the revised deadlines.
- Ensure all required information and documents are submitted accurately.
