Peshawar, Pakistan – In a significant development, the Peshawar High Court has stepped in to suspend the release of Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) results, following disturbing allegations of extensive cheating during the examination.
This decision to halt the MDCAT test results comes in the wake of mounting concerns about widespread cheating practices, particularly the use of Bluetooth devices for transmitting answers. The court’s intervention aims to ensure the integrity and fairness of the examination process, a matter of utmost importance for aspiring medical and dental students in Pakistan.
Justice Arshad Ali, presiding at Peshawar High Court, conducted a hearing to address the alarming reports of cheating that have plagued the MDCAT examination. These allegations have put a spotlight on the need for a thorough investigation to safeguard the credibility of the results.

To facilitate a comprehensive inquiry, the court has issued directives to key stakeholders, including the Chief Secretary, Executive Director of the Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency (ETEA), and the Registrar of the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC). These authorities have been instructed to provide detailed responses and pertinent documents related to the MDCAT examination and its administration.
The court has set the next hearing for September 21, allowing ample time for relevant parties to address the allegations and implement corrective measures to ensure the examination’s integrity.
The decision to suspend MDCAT results follows petitions by students who raised concerns about cheating during the examination. These petitions ultimately led to the temporary suspension of the results, reflecting the growing apprehensions regarding the transparency and fairness of the examination process.
This latest development further complicates the already contentious MDCAT examination. Initially scheduled for September 10, the MDCAT exam faced controversy both before and after its administration. Reports of paper leaks and cheating incidents cast a shadow over the examination’s credibility.
During the MDCAT exam, authorities apprehended a group attempting to transmit answers using Bluetooth devices, resulting in their subsequent arrest. Additionally, law enforcement agencies took numerous male and female students into custody pending further investigation into their involvement in the alleged cheating.

It is essential to note that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa announced the release of the MDCAT 2023 results just days ago. However, this recent suspension raises questions about the integrity of the admission process for medical and dental programs in Pakistan, as the MDCAT examination is a critical step for aspiring students.
The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) is closely monitoring the situation and remains committed to upholding the highest standards in medical and dental education. As the investigation unfolds, stakeholders will watch closely to ensure that justice is served, and the examination process is safeguarded against cheating and irregularities.
The suspension of MDCAT results underscores the need for a comprehensive review of examination protocols and security measures to prevent future incidents of cheating. The authorities are urged to work diligently to restore trust in the examination process and provide a level playing field for all aspiring medical and dental students in Pakistan.
