Did you know there are many options apart from just M.B.B.S.

The scope of NMDCAT is not just limited to medicine and dentistry. There is a whole world of allied health sciences that you can choose after finishing F.Sc. pre-medical and taking good marks in NMDCAT. But it depends on the university or college you are attempting to join. Some institutes exempt the condition of MDCAT and grant admission based only on your intermediate plus matric scores. At the same time, for some universities, it is mandatory to take NMDCAT as your admission will be decided on the aggregate of the NMDCAT, intermediate, and matric scores.
