While abo­l­i­shing quota for foreign students for the first time in the country’s history, the Pakistan Medical Comm­ission (PMC) has made it mandatory for overseas Pakistanis and foreign students to clear Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) to get admission in Pakistan.

Private colleges have been allowed to have fee str­uct­ures for foreigners different from that for Pakistani students. Moreover, the provinces can fix a quota for foreign students for admission to their public sector colleges.

The Pakistan Medical Ass­­ociation (PMA), representative body of doctors, expre­ss­ed concern over the decis­ion and said the decision wou­ld close the doors of medical education on local students.
