APP

Peshawar: A large number of successful students of the Medical & Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) exam chanted slogans against the cheating mafia and protested the possible re-conduct of the exam.

Scores of students who passed the MDCAT exam on Monday staged a protest in front of the Peshawar Press Club and demanded stern action against the students involved in cheating rather than re-conducting the exam.

The future of 46,000 students would be put in jeopardy by re-conducting the MDCAT exam, they stated.

Students demanded that action be taken against the cheating mafia and students from whom cheating devices were recovered, adding that those who have passed the exam should not be bothered.

Retaking the exam would raise suspicions and demand an impartial inquiry through a judicial commission to fully investigate the situation and decide about the course of the future, medical students added.

They continued by stating that they had clearly passed the exam, which should not be annulled. The apprehended suspect should be properly probed as well as held accountable for their actions in order to prevent a repeat of this incident.

They stated that they would go to the Court of Justice if the exam results were revoked.
