What happened: The MDCAT 2021 is expected to be held from August to September this year. New regulations have been passed regarding the exam which have worried prospective candidates. Details : Students can appear in the MDCAT exam before the announcement of their intermediate results due to COVID-19 delays and this means over 500,000 students will sit the test.

Candidates will not be allowed to object to examination questions or the correct answer. Passing marks shall be 65% and above. Candidates will not be allowed to request rechecking of the test as the checking will be computerised. The results shall be valid for a period of two years.
