🩺 Preparing for MDCAT 2025: Essential Guide to the Rescheduled Sindh Test by SIBA Testing Services

As the academic year unfolds, thousands of aspiring medical and dental students across Pakistan are preparing for the highly competitive Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT). For candidates in Sindh, the 2025 exam brings both relief and renewed focus—thanks to an official rescheduling by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC).

Originally set for October 5, 2025, the Sindh MDCAT has now been postponed to Sunday, October 26, 2025, due to heavy rains and flooding across the province. The decision ensures all candidates get a fair chance to prepare and reach their centers safely.

Conducted by SIBA Testing Services (STS) under Sukkur IBA University, the test promises transparency, merit, and technology-driven fairness. Let’s explore everything you need to know—from the new schedule and test centers to admit slips, entry rules, and smart last-minute study tips.

Why the Rescheduling Matters

The MDCAT isn’t just another exam—it’s the gateway to MBBS and BDS programs in Pakistan’s top medical institutions. For 2025, PMDC and STS have worked together to make sure that students in flood-affected areas aren’t left behind.

Sindh faced severe monsoon damage, making travel and study impossible for many families. The new date, October 26 at 10:00 AM PST, provides an extra three weeks for recovery and focused revision.

This compassionate move echoes similar adjustments during past national emergencies, reflecting PMDC’s commitment to student safety and fairness.

Three-Week Study Strategy for MDCAT 2025

With three weeks to go, smart preparation can make a huge difference. The MDCAT syllabus aligns with FSc/Intermediate subjects—mainly Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, and Logical Reasoning.

🗓️ 21-Day Study Plan

Days 1–7: Review your weakest subjects using PMDC’s official syllabus → https://mdcat.pmdc.pk/
Days 8–14: Attempt timed practice tests using STS’s sample papers → https://www.iba-suk.edu.pk/sts/sample-papers/
Days 15–21: Revise notes, memorize formulas, and take full mock exams.

💡 Tip: Stay active in MDCAT student forums and Facebook study groups to discuss tricky topics and stay motivated.

Also, don’t neglect your mental and physical health. Sleep 7–8 hours, eat light, and take short breaks during study sessions. Consistency matters more than cramming.
