The Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency (ETEA) has been at the forefront of conducting fair and transparent examinations in Pakistan. Among its significant responsibilities is the organization of the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT), which plays a pivotal role in determining the future of aspiring medical and dental students across the country. Recently, there has been a buzz surrounding the possibility of a reconduction of the ETEA MDCAT examination, raising questions about transparency and grace marks. In this update, we aim to clarify the current status of these concerns and provide information regarding the forthcoming meeting that will address them.
ETEA MDCAT Reconduction: What’s the Buzz?
The buzz about the ETEA MDCAT reconduction began circulating after the initial examination took place. Some students and parents expressed concerns about the fairness and validity of the test, leading to speculation about a possible reconduction. These concerns primarily revolve around the difficulty level of the paper and the performance of the candidates.
Official Statement: No Decision Yet
As of now, we would like to emphasize that no official meeting has taken place to discuss the reconduction of the ETEA MDCAT or the possibility of granting grace marks to candidates. It is crucial for all stakeholders, including students and parents, to rely on information solely from the official sources, such as the ETEA and PMDC websites.
Upcoming Meeting on 15th September 2023
