Islamabad, Pakistan — A group of medical students has approached the Islamabad High Court, demanding a retest of the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT).

The students claim that 26 to 27 of the multiple-choice questions (MCQs) on the exam were from outside the prescribed syllabus.

Led by students Ammar Naeem, Shadib Razi, and Sobia Iman, the petition requests the court to issue orders for a retest.

Additionally, the petition seeks alternative measures, such as awarding grace marks for the out-of-syllabus questions.

The petition names the federal government, through the Secretary of Health, the President of the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC), and officials from the National Medical and Dental Board as respondents.

The registrar of the Islamabad High Court has accepted the petition for further proceedings.

Students are now awaiting the court’s decision on the matter, as the issue of out-of-syllabus questions has raised concerns about fairness in the medical admission process.
