85% attendance requirement rule stands scrapped.
Previous 75% attendance rule to reapply for 2024–25.
All medical universities directed to implement notification.
The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC), the statutory regulatory authority that maintains the official register of medical practitioners, has withdrawn its earlier decision that set 65% as the passing marks for MBBS and BDS.
According to a new notification, the passing marks for the 2024–25 session had been raised from 50% to 65%, but that change has now been reversed.
The notification states that the passing marks for MBBS and BDS have been restored to 50% for the 2024–2025 session.
The PMDC has also ended the 85% attendance requirement for MBBS and BDS students.
For the 2024–2025 session, the previous 75% attendance requirement will apply again.
The council has directed all medical universities to implement the notification.
