FSC Pre-Medical & MDCAT 2025: Complete Roadmap

Table of Contents

The journey to becoming a doctor or dentist doesn’t start after FSc—it begins during it. That’s why creating and following a structured timeline is essential to avoid missing important deadlines and to stay ahead of the competition.

Below is a complete roadmap that guides you through all the critical phases—from academic preparation to final admission in medical colleges.

Phase-by-Phase Timeline for FSC Pre-Medical & MDCAT 2025

1. Academic Preparation (Ongoing)

Your first and most important task is to focus on your FSc Pre-Medical studies. You must secure at least 60% marks, though higher percentages (80%–90% and above) are needed to compete for top-tier medical colleges.

Focus Areas:

Biology (Highest weightage in MDCAT)
Chemistry (Concept clarity is key)
Physics or Mathematics (Depending on college requirement)

Tip: Build a strong foundation in FSc, as MDCAT is largely based on its curriculum.

2. MDCAT Preparation (April–July 2025)

Start preparing for the Medical & Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) early—ideally from April 2025, while you’re still in FSc Part-II.

Preparation Tips:

Follow the official PMDC MDCAT syllabus
Practice daily MCQs
Use past papers, mock exams, and self-assessment tools
Join a reputable MDCAT coaching academy (optional but helpful)

3. MDCAT Registration (Expected: June–July 2025)

Stay updated with the PMDC or provincial authorities like UHS for MDCAT 2025 registration announcements. The registration normally commences June and closes around the middle of July.

You’ll need:

FSc Part-II roll number
CNIC or B-form
Passport-sized photo
Valid email & contact number

4. MDCAT Test Day (Tentative: August–September 2025)

Sit for the MDCAT exam at your assigned center. Remember, your MDCAT score will greatly impact your admission chances.

Minimum Passing Marks:
– MBBS: 55%
– BDS: 50%

Note: Some private medical colleges may accept slightly lower MDCAT scores but still require a pass.

5. College Application Phase (Early to Mid-August 2025)

Most FSc Pre-Medical colleges open their admission portals in July or early August, with deadlines usually between 7 to 17 August 2025. Visit each college’s website for exact dates.

Documents Required:

Matric & FSc Marksheets
MDCAT Result Card (if applying for MBBS/BDS later)
CNIC or B-form
Passport-sized photos
Domicile certificate (for public colleges)

6. Document Submission (Immediately After Applying)

After filling out online or manual forms, submit required documents either:

By uploading online
By visiting the college campus
Or through courier services (for out-of-city applicants)

Double-check that all copies are attested and your application is complete.

7. Interview or Document Verification (Optional – April to August 2025)

Some colleges—especially private institutions or elite public schools like APS Islamabad or AlHuda International School—may conduct interviews or physical verification of documents. In 2025, APS Islamabad held interviews around 21 April.

Prepare to:

Explain your academic goals
Present original documents
Appear in person or online (depending on policy)

8. Fee Submission & Admission Confirmation (August–September 2025)

After being shortlisted in the merit list, you should pay the amount of admission fee as soon as you can, this will ensure you have a seat. Failure to submit fees on time may lead to cancellation of your admission.

Tip: Save a copy of the fee voucher/receipt for future reference.
