Sindh MDCAT Result 2026 – Latest Update
The release of the provisional MDCAT result is an important step for candidates seeking admission to MBBS and BDS programs in Sindh for the upcoming academic session.
More than 34,000 candidates were registered from Sindh for MDCAT 2026, according to figures reported around the examination. The test was conducted at centres across Sindh, including Karachi, Hyderabad, Jamshoro, Mirpurkhas, Larkana, Shaheed Benazirabad and Sukkur, with an additional centre in Islamabad.
Candidates should remember that the newly issued result is provisional, meaning the complaint and correction process remains important before subsequent admission stages.
MDCAT 2026 Was Held on September 20
The Sindh MDCAT 2026 examination took place on:
September 20, 2026
SIBA Testing Services was responsible for conducting the examination for Sindh candidates.
STS’s official announcements page confirms that both the MDCAT 2026 answer keys and an accompanying press release were published on September 20.
The test consisted of 180 multiple-choice questions, with no negative marking reported under the 2026 format.
How to Check Sindh MDCAT Result 2026
Candidates should check their result through the official SIBA Testing Services/Sukkur IBA University system.
Students should keep their CNIC, candidate information or other required identification details available when accessing the result portal.
Because result-related links can circulate rapidly on social media, candidates should avoid entering their CNIC or personal information on unknown third-party websites.
MDCAT Result Complaint Deadline
Candidates who believe that their marks contain an error or discrepancy can use the grievance process announced with the provisional results.
The reported deadline is:
September 26, 2026 – 5:00 PM
Candidates should therefore review their result immediately rather than waiting until the final hours.
If the score shown in the provisional result differs from what a candidate reasonably calculates from the official answer key, the candidate should follow the formal complaint instructions issued by STS.
What Should You Check in Your Provisional Result?
Candidates should carefully verify their name and identifying information, total marks, calculated score and any other information displayed on the result record.
Students who retained their answer-sheet/carbon-copy information can also compare their responses with the official answer keys previously released by SIBA Testing Services.
STS released answer keys for the MDCAT examination following the September 20 test.
MDCAT 2026 Passing Marks for MBBS
Candidates seeking admission to an MBBS program must meet the applicable MDCAT eligibility threshold.
For the 2026 examination, the reported minimum is:
55% for MBBS
On a 180-mark examination, 55% corresponds to 99 marks.
However, scoring 55% does not guarantee admission to an MBBS college.
It establishes the MDCAT minimum eligibility threshold; actual admission depends on the candidate’s admission aggregate, merit position, applicable quota, institutional rules and availability of seats. The 55% MBBS threshold has also been reported in current MDCAT 2026 result coverage.
MDCAT 2026 Passing Marks for BDS
For candidates seeking admission to Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) programs, the reported minimum MDCAT requirement is:
50% for BDS
On a test carrying 180 marks, this equals 90 marks.
As with MBBS, merely crossing the qualifying threshold does not mean that a candidate has secured a BDS seat. Final admission remains dependent on the applicable merit and admission criteria.
MBBS vs BDS Minimum MDCAT Marks
Candidates should therefore keep these two important benchmarks in mind:
MBBS: Minimum 55% – 99 out of 180
BDS: Minimum 50% – 90 out of 180
These are minimum eligibility thresholds, not expected closing-merit scores.
Closing merit can be considerably higher depending on the number of applicants, available seats, admission category and overall candidate performance.
What Does “Provisional Result” Mean?
A provisional result is not necessarily the final stage of the process.
It provides candidates with an opportunity to review their recorded marks and raise legitimate discrepancies within the specified grievance period.
After complaints are reviewed, the testing authority can proceed with the subsequent result/admission process in accordance with the applicable rules.
Candidates should therefore save a copy or screenshot of their current result for their records.
What to Do If Your MDCAT Marks Are Wrong
If you believe your result contains an error, first compare your score carefully with the official answer key.
Do not submit a complaint merely because the score is lower than expected. Identify the specific discrepancy and provide the information requested by the testing authority.
Candidates should submit grievances only through the official channel specified by SIBA Testing Services and complete the process before 5 PM on September 26, 2026.
Sindh MDCAT 2026 Answer Keys
The official MDCAT answer keys were issued after the September 20 examination.
The STS announcement page lists both the Answer Keys – Medical & Dental Colleges Admission Test (MDCAT) 2026 and an associated press release dated September 20.
Candidates can use the relevant paper version to cross-check their answers.
MDCAT 2026 Merit Is Different From Passing Marks
This distinction is extremely important for students and parents.
A candidate who scores 55% or more may satisfy the MDCAT component of minimum MBBS eligibility, but that does not mean the candidate will necessarily receive admission.
Similarly, a candidate reaching 50% for BDS has crossed the reported minimum MDCAT threshold, but actual selection still depends on the admission merit process.
Candidates should therefore wait for the relevant admission merit lists and official admission schedule rather than treating the provisional MDCAT result alone as an admission offer.
What Happens After the MDCAT Result?
After the provisional-result and grievance process, candidates should monitor official announcements concerning the final result, admission applications, merit calculations, provisional merit lists, objection periods and final college allocations, as applicable.
Students should keep all academic and identity documents ready because the admission process can require verification of SSC/Matric, HSSC/FSc, domicile and other relevant credentials.
