The MDCAT 2026 syllabus includes Biology (81 MCQs), Chemistry (45 MCQs), Physics (36 MCQs), English (9 MCQs), and Logical Reasoning (9 MCQs), totaling 180 MCQs in 3 hours. The syllabus is based on FSc pre-medical textbooks from Punjab Textbook Board and federal boards.
Focus on solving past papers, practicing topic-wise MCQs daily, and taking weekly mock tests. Prioritize Biology (45% weightage) and Chemistry (25% weightage). Use our free practice tests and past papers from 2008-2025 to identify patterns and frequently repeated questions.
The minimum passing score for MDCAT is 55% (99 out of 180) for medical colleges and 50% (90 out of 180) for dental colleges. However, for admission to top Punjab medical colleges like King Edward Medical University (KEMU) or Allama Iqbal Medical College (AIMC), you typically need 162+ marks with an aggregate above 90%.
Absolutely! MDCAT past papers are one of the most effective preparation tools. Many questions are repeated or slightly modified from previous years. We provide past papers from 2008 to 2025 with detailed answer keys and explanations.
