Introduction

The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council’s 2026 admissions policy and regulations are being closely followed by students preparing for MBBS and BDS admissions. The official PMDC publication page lists the 2026 policy notification, while the council’s guidance explains the role of admitting universities, merit lists and registration requirements.

Important Checks for Applicants
- Confirm that the college and programme are recognised by PMDC.
- Apply through the authorised admitting university or centralised process.
- Check MDCAT, HSSC/FSc and subject requirements before submitting an application.
- Read the official merit, fee and admission deadlines for the relevant province.
Why the Policy Matters
Medical and dental admissions involve regulated seats, recognised institutions and a formal registration process. An offer from an unrecognised or unauthorised route can create serious problems later, including difficulty obtaining PMDC registration.
The council’s FAQ guidance states that undergraduate applicants must pass MDCAT, hold the required HSSC or equivalent qualification and meet the mandatory subject and percentage conditions notified under the regulations. Applicants should rely on the current policy instead of old social-media posts.
Merit and the Admitting University
Provincial or regional admitting universities conduct the centralised admission process according to the approved framework. Students may need to apply separately for medical and dental programmes. Missing an application for a specific programme can prevent admission to that programme, even if a student meets the general academic requirements.
How to Avoid Admission Mistakes
- Download the latest PMDC policy and read the eligibility section.
- Verify the admitting university’s official portal.
- Keep original certificates, domicile and identity documents ready.
- Compare the college name with the recognised-institutes list.
- Never transfer a fee to an unofficial personal account.
