SiKohateously, a heated dispute has arisen between the Education and Evaluation Testing Agency ETEA and the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council PMDC over a controversial decision. PMDCs proposal to grant grace marks to all MDCAT candidates if 90 percent of them fail to answer questions correctly has sparked widespread outrage among students and parents alike.

ETEA, represented through Khyber Medical University KMU, has submitted a dissenting opinion to PMDC, asserting that this policy unfairly disadvantages the top 10 percent of students who answered the questions correctly. The agency has emphasized the importance of upholding justice and not penalizing high-achieving minority students.

Furthermore, ETEA has urged regional commissioners and authorities to take strict action against individuals involved in the illicit sale of advance access to MDCAT questions, while urging candidates to report such unlawful activities.

The controversy has also resulted in substantial financial losses, amounting to Rs. 23 million for ETEA, due to the rescheduling of the MDCAT exam from August 27th to September 10th. Government officials in Peshawar have strongly criticized PMDCs grace marks formula, deeming it "illogical and irresponsible." Anticipated legal challenges loom on the horizon if this policy is implemented, with committed students and concerned parents vowing to take the matter to court.
