IHC bars SZABMU from announcing MDCAT results

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has stopped Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University (SZABMU) from announcing Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) results.

Islamabad High Court Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir issued a 3-page order and said in the judgment that SZABMU should not release the results of MDCAT test.

Students who appeared for the MDCAT for medical admissions have filed a petition for re-conducting MDCAT exam.

The court has issued notices to the Federal Ministry of Health and other parties for September 26. The order said that the court was told today that as the university has not yet declared the results, the Additional Attorney General should immediately inform the university about the stay order.

The students appearing for the MDCAT exam had approached the Islamabad High Court, stating that the papers of other provinces were very easy, so there were a large number of students scoring more than 190 marks, but our paper was  out of syllabus. , which made a huge difference to the result.

A student said there were more than 20 questions in the paper which were out of syllabus, not only that, but when he came home and checked the questions he had corrected. His ‘key’ was also given wrongly.

The students said that when their parents went to the SZABMU and when the matter was raised there, the vice chancellor left from the back door and also called the police. What happened, the registrar was laughing while standing there.
