In a surprising turn of events, Caretaker Chief Minister of Sindh Justice (Retd) Maqbool Baqir has taken a bold step by directing the cancellation of the MDCAT 2023 entry test results and ordering a complete re-conduct of the examination.
The decision comes amidst growing concerns and controversy surrounding the initial test results.
A spokesperson for the Sindh government has confirmed that the caretaker chief minister issued a formal directive to annul the test results and has further instructed the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to launch an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the MD CAT 2023 results.
The inquiry aims to shed light on any irregularities or discrepancies that may have marred the initial examination process.
In accordance with the Chief Minister's orders, the MD CAT entry test is slated to be held anew, effectively nullifying the outcomes of the previous examination. What sets this re-conduct apart is that the Chief Minister has personally entrusted Dow University with the responsibility of organizing the test, ensuring transparency and fairness in the process.
The decision to re-conduct the MDCAT 2023 exam has generated a mix of reactions from students, parents, and educational stakeholders across Sindh.
Some view it as a much-needed measure to restore confidence in the examination system, while others express concern over potential delays in the medical admissions process.
The move to involve the FIA in investigating the initial results underscores the government's commitment to upholding the integrity of the educational system and ensuring a level playing field for all aspiring medical students in Sindh.
