The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PM&DC) has rescheduled the National Registration Examination (NRE) Step-I, initially scheduled for October 11, 2026, to November 8, 2026 (Sunday) due to unforeseen circumstances.
According to a notification from PM&DC's Examination Department, this revised date will apply to all candidates appearing for the NRE Step-I examination.
The NRE is conducted by PM&DC as part of the registration process for Pakistani medical and dental graduates who have obtained their qualifications outside Pakistan. The exam assesses candidates against required standards of medical and dental knowledge and competency before they can proceed with relevant registration requirements.
Candidates are advised to note the new date and follow further instructions from PM&DC regarding the examination.
The NRE is part of a regulatory framework designed to ensure that medical and dental practitioners seeking registration in Pakistan meet prescribed professional standards.
