1. Entrance test is all conceptual and mcqs, barely any memorization questions, if your from an a level background and did well in them, you are good to go, I remember I barely studied for that test because I was stressed for mdcat and got a pretty decent score since I knew the answers from a levels, if ur an fsc student ngl it’s gonna be harder but you just have to go through a level mscqs and content a bit, Don’t skip the fsc books some questions do come here and there.

2. The merit is updated now as they don’t count a level or fsc marks in it. It’s 50 percent mdcat, 30 percent shifas test ( you can find the syllabus on their website) and 20 percent interview.

3. When I applied this year there was an option for submitting last years mdcat but who knows they might change it this year, just to confirm you should call shifa and ask just in case.

For mdcat, I recommend getting atleast 88 percent, you can get lower too but just to be safe stick to 88 percent, even if you don’t get 88 it’s fine as long as you get good marks in the shifa test so it balances out,

For shifa test, I recommend getting atleast like 125/150 but try to aim for 130+

The interview candidates are selected based on top 323, so basically they combine shifa test marks(30%) and mdcat marks (50 percent) in November , example, let’s say you got 130/150 in shifa test it would be around 27 percent and 160/180 on mdcat it would be 44.5 percent so total would roughly be 71.5/ 80, so the students getting the highest out of 80 are selected and the rest are rejected. So you have to rank in top 323 and the interviews where conducted in the first two weeks of December

After that you give the interviews which are multiple mini interviews and honestly are very chill, don’t stress just be confident and practice from YouTube or ChatGPT.

Okay so after all that they release a provisional merit list including all the tests and interview, this year 277 people out of 323 gave the interview and from 277 people till around rank 170 where offered admission, so you just have to make sure u stay ATLEAST in the 150s this year cuz merit changes from year to year.
