THE Sindh Medical College Admission Test (MDCAT) was earlier announced to be held on Oct 18 under the supervision of the National Testing Service. Thousands of students had submitted forms and deposited Rs750 each as the test fee.
Thereafter, the Sindh High Court issued a directive ordering the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC) to conduct the test, and the students had to pay Rs1,500 to the PMC as the test fee.
What happened to the sum collected as test fee in the first instance? This money should be returned to candidates as early as possible. The authorities concerned should look into this matter.
