MDCAT Registration Documents Checklist 2026: PMDC Requirements

1. Mandatory Document Specifications and Upload Rules

• Digital File Formatting: Transcripts and certificates must be uploaded as crisp PDFs between 100 KB and 300 KB.
• Photograph Guidelines: Recent passport-size photograph on a white or light blue background, formatted in JPG or PNG under 300 KB.
• Identity Credentials: Valid computerized CNIC, Smart Card, or NADRA Juvenile Registration Card for minors under 18 years old.

2. Common Rejection Errors and Document Preparation Protocols

Avoid administrative delays by verifying that all documents comply with PMDC specifications prior to portal submission.

• Name Reconciliation: Verify that the spelling of your name, parental details, and date of birth match identically across your Matric certificate, FSc marksheet, and CNIC. Discrepancies must be rectified at NADRA prior to registration.
• Domicile Alignment: The province listed on your domicile certificate must correspond to the geographic region of your chosen examination centre under the 2026 PMDC domicile alignment rule.
• Fee Documentation: Retain the stamped bank deposit receipt or digital transaction ID after paying the registration fee of PKR 9,000 (regular) or PKR 13,000 (late).
• The 15-Second Document Quality Check: Open your generated PDF uploads on a standard desktop monitor at 100% zoom. If the board seal, roll number, and subject marks cannot be read clearly in under 15 seconds, re-scan the original document at 300 DPI before uploading.
• The White Coat Preview: Rigorous documentation verification is standard practice in healthcare administration. Medical students and physicians must maintain meticulous records for provincial licensing, hospital credentialing, and post-graduate medical registries.
