What Candidates Should Know About UHS MDCAT and PGET Announcements

UHS Public Notices publishes the exam-related announcements that candidates applying to medical and dental institutions in Punjab need to act on. For MDCAT, the notice identifies the test date and the candidate group it applies to; for PGET, it points to the Table of Specifications that defines what the entrance test covers. The practical takeaway: treat each notice as a dated instruction tied to a specific admission cycle, and check the portal for the current phase rather than relying on a previous year's schedule.

What the MDCAT notice tells you

The MDCAT notice on the site states that the MDCAT 2026 result is for candidates seeking admissions to Medical and Dental Institutions in Punjab, and that the test was held on 20th September 2026. Two things follow from that single notice:

• Who it applies to: candidates targeting medical and dental institutions in Punjab, not a general national audience.
• What the date marks: the exam sitting date, which anchors everything downstream — result announcement, merit calculation, and admission lists.

If you are preparing for a future cycle, the notice format is the signal to watch: UHS posts the exam date and the applicable candidate group together, so you can confirm both at once instead of assuming the previous year's date carries over.

How the PGET Table of Specifications helps you prepare

The PGET notice is a notification of the Table of Specifications for the Postgraduate Entrance Test. A table of specifications is the document that maps the test's content — the subject areas and the weight given to each. For a candidate, its value is that it converts "study everything" into a defined scope.

Use it in this order:

1. Open the PGET notice and locate the Table of Specifications.
2. List the subject areas it names.
3. Allocate revision time in proportion to the emphasis the table shows, rather than evenly across all topics.
4. Cross-check your preparation against the table before the test, not after.

The notice itself does not replace the table — it announces it. The table is the document you actually study from.

Where exam notices sit in the admission sequence

UHS Public Notices groups its content around a repeating cycle, and exam announcements are one stage within it. The notices visible on the site include:

Read together, these show that an exam notice is not the end of the process. A result feeds into selection lists, and a selection list may be followed by a further phase. If you only track the exam date, you can miss the application window or the list that actually determines your seat.

Checking the right notice for your stage

Because notices are dated and cycle-specific, the useful habit is to match the notice to your current stage rather than reading the page top to bottom:

• Before the test: the exam date notice and, for PGET, the Table of Specifications.
• After the test: the result notice, and the Recount/Review portal if you need to query a result.
• During admission: the online application portal notice and the selection lists for your program and intake year.

The site also maintains a News Archive, which is where earlier-cycle notices sit once they are no longer current — useful for understanding the sequence, but not a substitute for the active notice for your intake.

Common points candidates miss

• The candidate group matters as much as the date. The MDCAT notice names Punjab medical and dental admissions specifically; a date without that context can mislead candidates applying elsewhere.
• Phase II is a distinct window. The presence of a Phase II application notice means the first window is not the only chance, but it also means deadlines differ between phases.
• Selection lists are published in rounds. A "Second Selection List" implies a first one existed; candidates who only watch for a single list can miss their round.
• The Table of Specifications is a preparation document, not a schedule. It tells you what is tested, not when.

For anything involving eligibility rules, deadlines, or fees, read the specific notice in full — the summaries here reflect what the notices announce, and the notice text is what governs your application.
