The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has released an important update regarding MDCAT 2026 test centers. Many students were uncertain about their test venue, especially those belonging to Sindh and Balochistan. To solve this issue, PMDC has now officially announced additional test centers to facilitate candidates and ensure smooth exam arrangements.
MDCAT 2026 Test Centers for Sindh and Balochistan
According to the official notice issued on 22nd August 2026, Sukkur-IBA University, Sukkur, and Bolan University of Medical & Health Sciences, Quetta, have been authorized to establish a Test Centre at Islamabad. This facility is specifically for students who have domicile in Sindh and Balochistan provinces. The decision has been taken to reduce the travel burden and to provide a fair opportunity to students from these regions.
New Test Centre in Jacobabad
Additionally, PMDC has confirmed that Jacobabad will also serve as a designated test center for MDCAT 2026 in Sindh. This is a relief for thousands of students residing in upper Sindh, who previously had to travel long distances to appear in the exam. By adding Jacobabad, PMDC aims to make the examination process more accessible and student-friendly.
