Will MDCAT 2025 Be Delayed Due to Floods? – Updated Analysis
The Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) 2025 is officially scheduled for October 5, 2025 across Pakistan. With devastating floods currently affecting multiple provinces, thousands of students are asking: Will MDCAT be delayed?
Current Flood Crisis
Pakistan's 2025 floods have been catastrophic:
- 739+ deaths reported since late June
- 3.8 million people affected in Punjab alone
- 1.6 million at risk in Sindh with 300,000 displaced
- Heavy rains forecasted through September 7
Provincial Risk Assessment
Punjab Situation
Major UHS exam cities (Lahore, Multan, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi) remain functional despite South Punjab flooding. Most urban exam centers are accessible.
Delay Risk: MODERATE (25%)
Sindh Critical Status
The real concern lies here. With 300,000 displaced and major cities like Sukkur, Larkana, Hyderabad vulnerable, exam infrastructure faces severe threat.
Delay Risk: HIGH (80%)
National Impact
PMDC follows uniform nationwide dates. If Sindh cannot conduct exams, entire country faces delay - not selective postponement.
Nationwide Delay Risk: VERY HIGH (85%)
Breaking Precedents
NUMS Already Delayed
National University of Medical Sciences postponed their MDCAT from September 14 to September 28, citing "devastating floods". This sets a concerning precedent for PMDC.
2022 Flashback
Similar floods forced PMDC to delay MDCAT nationwide, proving authorities prioritize student safety over scheduling.
PMDC's Current Position
No Official Statement Yet - PMDC remains silent while continuing October 5 preparations. However, mounting pressure from students and educational platforms is building.
Possible New Dates
If postponement occurs:
- October 19, 2025 (Most Likely)
- October 26, 2025 (Moderate Chance)
- Early November 2025 (If recovery takes longer)
JAAM MAUD Final Verdict
OVERALL DELAY PROBABILITY: 75%
BOTTOM LINE: Situation has significantly worsened since initial assessment. Current flood projections, infrastructure damage, and NUMS precedent make delay increasingly likely.
Critical decision period: Next 7-10 days
Student Action Plan
Keep Preparing
Official date remains October 5. Don't let uncertainty derail your studies.
Stay Alert
Monitor: PMDC website, UHS announcements, IBA Sukkur updates
Be Flexible
Mentally prepare for potential changes while maintaining momentum.
What's Next?
Next 48-72 hours are CRITICAL. Weather reports and damage assessments will determine PMDC's decision. Given current severity and precedents, expect official announcement within one week.
JAAM MAUD will provide real-time updates as situation develops
