The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PM&DC) has issued a strong advisory against fraudulent advertisements offering medical and dental admissions without the mandatory Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) qualifications. According to ProPakistani, the PM&DC has observed a rise in misleading ads in newspapers and on social media, particularly targeting students who failed the MDCAT. The council emphasized that 'students who do not qualify MDCAT are not eligible for admission to medical or dental colleges in Pakistan and will not be registered with the PM&DC.' Furthermore, the PM&DC clarified that admission to foreign institutions does not automatically guarantee registration in Pakistan unless all prescribed requirements, including passing the MDCAT, are met. This advisory aims to protect students and parents from scams and ensure adherence to official channels for admissions.
