PMDC Schedules May 16 NEB Exam for Pakistanis, Including Students from Iran

In response to the ongoing international tensions and the challenging situation for students abroad, the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has introduced a crucial opportunity for Pakistani medical students returning from Iran. The National Equivalence Board (NEB) exam scheduled for May 16, 2026, provides a streamlined pathway for these students to continue their medical education in Pakistan without any academic interruptions. PMDC emphasizes that this initiative is specifically designed for students who have completed at least two years of study in recognized foreign medical or dental institutions. By allowing them to sit for this special examination, the council is ensuring that geopolitical crises do not derail the careers of aspiring doctors. Interested candidates can register through the online portal, which opens on April 9 and closes on April 24, 2026, giving them ample time to complete the process. This proactive move not only secures the academic futures of affected students but also strengthens Pakistan’s healthcare system by integrating well-trained professionals back into the country. PMDC’s approach demonstrates a commitment to educational continuity, fairness, and national interest, providing reassurance to students and families during uncertain times. The council encourages all eligible students to take full advantage of this opportunity.
