On Tuesday, a group of foreign graduates staged a protest outside the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) headquarters in Islamabad.
They were expressing their dissatisfaction with the passing percentage of 70% for NRE, demanding the authority to reduce it to 50%.
Protesters argued that no country worldwide requires a passing percentage as high as 70%. They questioned why foreign graduates are being treated differently in this regard.
Supporting the cause, parents of these foreign graduates also joined the demonstration. They shared their concerns about having invested their entire savings into their children’s aspirations, only to find them facing obstacles in obtaining their licenses.
The protesting students openly inquired about the authority behind the decision to raise passing marks for the NRE, which is the National Registration Examination for foreign graduates to practice in Pakistan.
Earlier, the hashtag “DelayMDCAT2023” gained significant traction in Pakistan’s online sphere after the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council announced the date for the MDCAT examination.
MDCAT holds immense significance as it’s a mandatory test for students aspiring to pursue medical and dental education in Pakistan. The exam acts as a gateway for admission into both public and private medical and dental colleges across the country.
Yes it will be delayed
This strike is not for MDCAT this strike for foreign medical graduates and national registration exam we reject 70% passing criteria we want justice and want to reduce the passing percentage to 50% just like before
First confirm the news then upload
Foreign graduates protests for nre passing criteria not for MCAT.. confirm the news first
I have been following your page from from long time but lately I am deeply disappointed and saddened by this so called facade just so you can get more views and to spice your page up…Kindly stop spreading hate and deliver the authentic news …Peace and guidance to you.
It’s not clear what is meant by foreign graduates referred in this news? Are they poeople wh did their 12th grade abroad and want to appear in the MDCAT? Or is it the students residing here who took A levels etc exam here?
foreign graduates are not there to protect for MDCAT delay, please reupload your news as foreign graduates rejected the 70% passing criteria for NRE ( National registration Exam ) the NRE 6th august results should be revised on 50% passing marks.
This is total discrimination.
I don’t understand that population is multiplying and number of students are increasing every year but in public sector the seats for MBBS are same…… Public sector is charging 3 lac max per year as fee. While private sector is charging more than 20 lac per year……. Who the hell will look into this matter???????? Injustice, frustration and disappointment has become part of young generation in Pakistan.
Foreign medical graduates strike is for licensing exam not for mdcat. Mdcat and licensing exam is two different things. Licensing exam is after completion of mbbs degree. Licensing exam passing percentage was 50 percent before and now it is 70 percent.
Seriously! Can’t even score 70% and are protesting. Incompetence and nalaiki is very common these days.
Raising the passing percentage dosen’t matter as no student having 70 or even 80 percent marks gets even close to having his name on the merit list.
Are you doctor or healthcare worker? . Go and have some exposure to realities. They are demanding their legal rights. Everywhere in the world the passing percentage for licensing exam is 50 percent and meanwhile some countries adjust percentage according to highest marks.The doctors who were protesting already got their provisional licenses and doing their unpaid housejob just because of foreign medical qualification. May Allah bless you and your parents with good health and you never face any medical emergency. Almost 30 percent juniors Doctors in THQs, DHQs are Foreign medical graduates.
Tum jesy chu*** pak ma jo mbbs karty hain har saal 50% pay paper dety hain phir b 8 8 saal lagaty hain mbbs ma or hamain kahty 70% pay pora mbbs ka paper aik sath do
Dosri baat jab PMC nay local graduates py NLE apply kiya to tum sab local graduates ki gotiyan halak tak aa gae thi Tab to bohat protest kiya tum gan**** nay 🖕🖕
Bhai yeh khud FA ka student hai isski itni auqat kahan k MBBS ker sky .. yeh khud ek naalaiq aor gandi naali ka keera hai so stay calm
The way you talk tells me alot about you. First learn how to talk and afterwards learn how to study maybe.
No where in the world a professional medical exam has passing percentage of 70%. Its always 50%. This isn’t some school exam. It’s 5 years of medical college syllabus together in one exam. Almost all other countries have 50% passing percentage. Even current pmdc already promised 50% but went back on there word.

This is nonsense,protest is about FMGS, not about MDCAT.
We are treated with injustice. We are only asking for our right and their is nothing wrong with it nor we are incompetent. We spent good handsome amount for THE education just to be treated like this? OBVIOUSLY NO!!! As per criteria percentage should be 50. Period!!!

No experience
Indeed it’s very bad to behave like that with those people who born in their Homeland and treated like foreign. Spending four or five years out of country not mean that they are different from Pakistani graduates .. except they studied from different institute
So they should get equal rights!!!!
I have a good experience
