Islamabad, April 7, 2026: The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has officially announced that the National Examination Board (NEB) examinations will be conducted on 16, May 2026.
PMDC in its announcement made on Tuesday said the examination is going to be conducted at Rawalpindi. The portal for the registration of the students will be live from 9th April to 24 April 2026. All eligible candidates are advised to complete their registration within the prescribed timeline once the portal becomes active.
PM&DC conducts the NEB twice a year to assess the knowledge, clinical skills, and professional competence of students who have partially completed medical or dental education abroad and seek transfer/admission in Pakistan. The exam will be computer-based and consist of multiple-choice questions.
Pakistani Students enrolled in foreign medical or dental institutions who have completed two years of study and reached at least the third year are eligible to take the NEB. Passing the exam is required for transfer and admission into Pakistani institutions for the next academic year.
This is also an opportunity for students who are currently pursuing their medical and dental education in Iran to appear in the examination. Such candidates are advised to complete the required codal formalities and ensure timely registration with PM&DC.
Furthermore, PM&DC has advised students and parents considering admission to foreign medical and dental colleges to exercise caution. The Council emphasized that the safety and well-being of students remain paramount, and that careful consideration should be given to both security concerns and long-term academic prospects.
Detailed information regarding the examination schedule, syllabus, and examination center is available on the official PMDC website. Candidates are encouraged to regularly check official announcements to stay updated on any further instructions or changes.
