Is the MDCAT required for AKU admission?

Yes. While the Aga Khan University (AKU) conducts its own unique entrance test, candidates are also required to take the National MDCAT and achieve the passing marks set by the PMDC to be eligible for the final admission list.

Does the AKU MBBS Entrance Test have negative marking?

Yes, but only in certain sections. The Science Achievement section (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) typically has a negative marking of 0.25 for every wrong answer. However, the Math and Science Reasoning sections usually do not have negative marking.

What is the paper pattern for the AKU Entrance Test 2026?

The test generally consists of 100 MCQs divided into two parts: Science Achievement (50 MCQs covering Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) and Reasoning (50 MCQs covering Mathematical and Scientific Reasoning). The total time allowed is 2 hours.

Is a calculator allowed in the AKU entry test?

No, calculators are strictly prohibited. The Math Reasoning section is designed to test mental math, logic, and speed. Specialized AKU MBBS Entrance Test Preparation is essential to master these no-calculator shortcuts.

Can FSc students pass the AKU test without A-Level books?

Yes. While the syllabus is conceptual, FSc students can excel by focusing on reasoning rather than rote learning. Mahida Academy’s course bridges the gap between FSc textbooks and the reasoning-based style of the AKU test.

When is the AKU entry test date for 2026?

The AKU entrance exam is traditionally held in July. For the 2026 session, students should expect the exam in mid-to-late July, with registration typically opening in March.
