MDCAT:
The MDCAT is the single-entry entrance test for medical (MBBS and BDS) admission in Pakistan, taken by Pakistani and international students each year under a responsible body that changes between years (PMC/UHS in recent years). It is a MCQ-based, ~2.5-hour computer-based paper.

How it works
MDCAT: the medical desk
Study with OmniTutorStuck at 11pm before a test? Ask in chat or by voice. Answers are worked to your exam's style — not generic textbook copy.
Every topic can become a short video lesson, generated for your chapter — with real examples and diagrams.
A daily plan built from your syllabus's weightage. Miss a day? It rebalances instead of guilt-tripping.
Biology makes up the majority of the paper (~55–60%), chemistry about 25%, physics about 15%, and a few newer exam papers add English and logical reasoning items — yet the pattern evolves annually.
Question density is what makes MDCAT demanding: biology recall under the clock, chemistry formulas balanced against recognition, and physics items reward quick formula application. English and logical reasoning stay only a small slice on newer forms.
Because the exact pattern changes year by year, the only stable plan is: check the responsible body’s current bulletin, then train biology majority with discipline.
Biology wants high-volume recall drills, chemistry calculation practice, and short physics MCQs — OmniTutor surfaces exactly these formats with recovery quizzes that map to percentages.
Use timed sets (computer-like), and keep your plan honest: the value is in discipline and biology recall, not in learning every year’s variant paper by heart.
Learners
★★★★★
“Biology weightage is everything in MDCAT. NCERT-line drills plus the English and logical reasoning sections in one plan.”
★★★★★
“Chemistry calculations practised the MDCAT way — fast, formula-recall based. My chemistry sectional crossed 90 percent.”
★★★★★
“Full-length mocks that mirror the real timing. First attempt I ran out of time in physics; not this time.”
Questions
The responsible body changed between years — in recent years it has been PMC or UHS. Always check the responsible body’s current bulletin before relying on any pattern, including this page’s numbers.
Yes, the MDCAT is an MCQ paper of about 2.5 hours. Beware: the exact pattern and question allocation change every year — the current bulletin is the only reliable source.
Recent years: biology is the majority (~55–60%), chemistry around 25%, physics about 15%, and a few newer English/logical questions. That ratio is why biology recall speed wins the MDCAT, not physics depth.
