Since MDCAT consists of 200 MCQs, the number of questions from each subject can be deduced easily.
Earlier this week, the PMC had decided to lower the passing percentage of MDCAT for admissions to Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) programs at dental colleges in the country.
In a meeting presided over by PMC President, Dr. Arshad Taqi, the commission had approved lowering the passing percentage from 65% to 55% for admissions in BDS programs.
