What Happens After MDCAT Results?
Students who have qualified can now focus on the next stage of the medical admission process. Passing MDCAT does not automatically guarantee an MBBS or BDS seat.
Admission depends on factors such as:
- MDCAT marks
- Academic marks

Students should therefore keep checking announcements from their relevant admission authority.
