LHC Orders MDCAT Question Papers, Codes Be Kept Online
The court says the papers and codes must stay on the official website until the admission process is complete, so students can file objections.
Lahore High Court orders the MDCAT question papers and codes to stay on the official website until admissions finish, so students can file objections.
The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Saturday, October 17, ordered authorities to upload the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) question papers and their codes on the official website and keep them available until the admission process is completed.
The Ruling
Justice Ahsan Raza Kazmi issued the order while deciding petitions filed by Noshaab A Khan and others concerning the examination. The court observed that removing the papers from the website would make it difficult for students to file objections, and held that taking them down would run contrary to the principle of transparency.
Why It Matters
The MDCAT is the key entrance examination for admission to medical and dental colleges across Pakistan. Keeping the question papers and codes publicly available lets students check them against their own answers and raise any objections during the admission process.
