The Sindh High Court (SHC) has received another petition against the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) 2020 alleging discrepancies in it and seeking a recheck of the test papers.
A division bench headed by Justice Muhammad Junaid Ghaffar of the Sindh High Court (SHC) heard the petition filed by the medical students of Karachi through their counsel, Mohammad Jibran Nasir.
The counsel argued that despite the assurance, the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC) had included nearly 40 out-of-syllabus questions in the question paper.

He also informed the court that his client had passed the examination but his result has been misprinted.
“I do not know why the PMC was in a hurry to announce the result. The roll number belongs to someone else and the results are of a different student,” he said.
Nasir maintained that the SHC had ordered the PMC to conduct the test under a unified syllabus but the commission had violated the orders by incorporating ambiguous questions in the layout.

The representative of the PMC sought more time to submit a reply over the matter. The case has been adjourned until 12 January.
Last week, a Lahore High Court bench led by Justice Ayesha A. Malik discarded a petition challenging the MDCAT 2020 results and demanded a recheck of the papers.
Following the conclusion of the opening arguments, Justice Malik ruled that the petitioner had not availed of the first remedy under the law and had delayed approaching the court, which is why the petition was not maintainable.
