Retest of Top 100 MDCAT Candidates Demanded

Jamaat-e-Islami Karachi leader Monem Zafar Khan has called for a thorough retest of the leading 100 MDCAT 2026 candidates due to allegations of irregularities and poor exam management. He addressed this matter to PMDC President Dr. Rizwan Taj, urging an investigation into students’ complaints and addressing their concerns about fairness.

Monem pointed out that approximately 9,500 Karachi-based candidates were confined to just two exam centers, situated on University Road. This starkly contrasted with 19 centers in Peshawar and six in Lahore. He argued that Karachi’s setup compelled students and their families to cover long distances for the exams. Moreover, he alleged that candidates had to endure lengthy waits in the heat, some spending up to eight hours in their seats.

The JI leader questioned the selection of IBA Sukkur to administer the tests and the requirement for examination papers to be returned by candidates. He also highlighted objections to the Biology, Chemistry, and Physics answer keys, which included complaints related to paper codes A and D. Monem also sought an independent probe into potential changes to the results.

He demanded a clear explanation of the funds collected for the examination, claiming that more than Rs. 1.26 billion were gathered. Meanwhile, Federal Health Minister Syed Mustafa Kamal has already instructed the PMDC to look into complaints about MDCAT 2026 in Sindh. Although a retest is now a demand, it has not yet been officially decided.
