KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has approved Rs 232.1 million for re-conducting the Medical and Dental College Entrance Test (MDCAT) in Sukkur, here on Wednesday.
During the Sindh Cabinet meeting, the Chief Minister highlighted that the paper leak not only tarnishes the reputation but also threatens the future of the students. “I want transparency in all examinations including MDCAT,” he asserted.
The cabinet was informed that MDCAT is being held every year in Sindh since 2017-18 with testing centers in Karachi, Hyderabad, Nawabshah, Sukkur and Larkana. Due to the recent paper leak, the matter has reached the High Court.
The Institute of Business Administration (IBA) in Karachi has declined further involvement in conducting the MDCAT, so IBA Sukkur will now fully monitor the exam. The revised MDCAT will be conducted within six weeks.
