Also, UHS has declared that you will need MDCAT for admission to allied health sciences such as DPT, Anaesthesiology, MLT, Doctor of Pharmacy, and other healthcare professions. So, this decision is crucial as a student in Sindh can apply to any of these programs in Punjab based on the MDCAT he or she took in their province.

Whether this decision facilitates the students or not, only time will tell. We still have to consider multiple aspects related to this announcement, such as whether it is just for students in other provinces or now. Whatever the result may be, we know that PMDC will make decisions for the sake of students.
