ISLAMABAD, Nov 18 (APP): The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PM&DC) convened a high-level meeting on Tuesday to review the admission policy for the 2025–26 academic session, following growing concerns and confusion among students highlighted in recent media reports.
The meeting, held at PM&DC headquarters, brought together all key stakeholders, including Council members, Vice Chancellors, representatives of the Inter Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC), and legal experts.
Dr. Mahesh Kumar Malani, Chairman of the National Assembly Standing Committee on National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination, also attended as a special invitee.
PM&DC officials said the primary objective of the meeting was to explore every possible solution to ensure maximum relief, clarity, and facilitation for students during the admission process.
The Council reiterated that it considers every student “part of its own family” and remains committed to supporting them during this critical stage of their academic journey.
Council members underscored that the three-year validity of the MDCAT result is clearly defined by law, which falls under the domain of Parliament.
However, they assured that PM&DC will continue to safeguard the interests of students and will not compromise on their future.
Officials further confirmed that all concerns and proposals submitted by student groups have been reviewed thoroughly.
PM&DC will extend full cooperation in ongoing court proceedings and will present all viable options transparently to ensure maximum facilitation for candidates.
The Council emphasized that the court’s decision will be final and binding on all institutions, and PM&DC will implement it in letter and spirit.
With these assurances, PM&DC expressed hope that students will be able to proceed with greater confidence and certainty as the admission process moves forward.
