UHS Opens MDCAT 2026 Recount And Review Portal

Portal Submission Requirements and Application Workflow

Candidates seeking a recount or review must state their specific reason for applying and upload their result card along with the examination bubble sheet carbon copy. A health department official explained that each issue requires a distinct verification channel. A candidate may question the calculation of marks, the reading of the response sheet, an answer contained in the official key, or even a particular question. Applicants must generate a bank challan, pay the required fee, and upload proof of payment before completing their final submission. The application is subsequently forwarded to the University of Health Sciences Examination Cell for processing within five working days. The inclusion of the carbon copy gives candidates a personal record of the responses marked during the examination, according to the health department official.

Distinguishing Between Result Verification and Answer Key Complaints

The administrative procedure separates general result calculation errors from disputes over specific test questions. If a candidate believes the official answer to a multiple-choice question is incorrect, the matter concerns the answer key, whereas improper score reflection falls under result verification. The university has published separate answer keys for different paper codes alongside an answer key complaint facility, requiring candidates to identify disputed questions and provide supporting evidence for any objections. One of the most likely sources of an apparent discrepancy is improper marking of the response sheet. Instructions for the Medical and Dental College Admission Test stated that an improperly filled bubble would be treated as an incorrect response, and because the sheet is processed electronically, an incomplete or unclear marking can produce unexpected results. The university information booklet provides for the validation of questions by subject experts, allowing inappropriate or invalid multiple-choice questions to be deleted with scores adjusted according to policy.

Strict Deadlines for Admission Prospects

With small differences in marks carrying significant weight for university admission prospects, applicants face a strict cutoff date. The University of Health Sciences will not accept any review complaints submitted after September 30, 2026. The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council previously directed organizing universities to provide rechecking mechanisms and display official answer keys, ensuring candidates retain access to their carbon-copy records and examination data for the designated period.
