The requirement for the MDCAT (Medical College Admission Test) for admission to Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs varies depending on the university in Pakistan.
- Some universities, such as SZABMU Islamabad, do require the MDCAT for DPT admission. This requirement is usually based on the same weightage criteria as MBBS and BDS programs, with 50% for the MDCAT, 40% for Intermediate (FSc) marks, and 10% for Matriculation marks.
- Other universities, such as UMT (University of Management and Technology) and Riphah International University, have their own entry tests and interview processes for DPT admissions. These universities may not specifically require the MDCAT.
- Some universities, such as Sialkot College of Physical Therapy (SCPT), do not mandate the MDCAT for DPT admissions. They might have their own internal admission criteria.
It's crucial to check the specific admission requirements for the DPT program at each university you are interested in. You can find detailed information on the university websites.
In conclusion, while not all universities require the MDCAT for DPT admission in Pakistan, some do. It's always best to confirm the specific requirements with the universities you are considering.
