About the 2020 MDCAT
The MDCAT 2020 was conducted by the Pakistan Medical Commission (renamed PMDC in 2022) as a single national entry test for MBBS and BDS admissions. It carried 200 MCQs across Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English and Logical Reasoning, with no negative marking and a duration of 210 minutes. First PMC-conducted national MDCAT, replacing province-wise UHS/ETEA/DUHS papers. Aggregate weightage followed the standard 10% Matric + 40% FSc + 50% MDCAT formula for public sector colleges. The 2020 paper sits in the PMDC era — a marked departure from the older UHS 1100-mark structure that ran from 2008 to 2019 (Source: PMDC 2020 notification).
