*Students are confused about whether the MDCAT will be provincial or national.* _Some institute officials have told them that this time, the MDCAT will be national, and they should study all province's textbooks._ *I am posting this to clear this doubt.* First of all, you should know what is *National MDCAT* and how it works. *National MDCAT* _means that the test will be the same for all (same questions for everyone), and the paper will be prepared from all province's textbooks._ _This year, there is confusion about how the paper will be prepared and whether the MDCAT will be National or Provincial. Here are a few changes that have caused this confusion:_ - _PMDC will prepare its own question bank, which will include questions from all province's textbooks._ _Because of this, students are confused thinking that since *questions are from all province's textbooks,* they will have to study all province's textbooks, and *MDCAT will be National.*_ *Lee Answer⏩* *Why PMDC preparing its own question bank?* *The reason for this is:* - _Last year, cases were filed in court against SZABMU and UHS because:_ - _The exam paper contained out-of-syllabus questions_ - _Some questions had incorrect options_ - _Some questions weren't even from the textbooks_ - _Some questions were completely wrong_ *To solve these problems, PMDC have taken responsibility this year to:* - _Create its own question bank_ - _Provide this bank to all provincial conducting bodies_ - _To prepare Question papers from this bank_ *And this is how resolve all of last year's issues* *MDCAT Paper Will Be Prepared by* - _PMDC Council members along with each province’s conducting body *(UHS, KMU, SZABMU, Lumhs/Pumhs, BMC )*_ _The conducting bodies will analyze whether questions are from their own province's textbooks or from other province's text books._ - *If questions are taken from other province’s textbooks* _the same controversies as last year could repeat._ *Then, what’s the benefit of PMDC’s planning?* *Can We Call It a National MDCAT Just Based on a Question Bank?* *No.* Simply having a *Question bank does not make it a "National MDCAT."* - A *true National MDCAT* would mean: - *One exam for all provinces* (same paper nationwide). - *Uniform syllabus* - *No provincial variations in difficulties level* _The *latest PMDC notification* (regarding domicile restrictions) makes one thing clear:_ - _A student can't take the test under another province’s conducting body._ *Now think about it*! Then how Questions will come from other province's text books? 1. *Focus on Your Preparation* _Don’t waste time on overthinking provincial differences._ 2. *Stick to Your Syllabus* _Cover core concepts from *PMDC official syllabus* and your provincial textbooks._ 3. *Ignore Rumors* _Rely only on *authentic updates* Follow the Students Nexus By SMY channel on WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va7jYxPFi8xbwFEV8A3H
