Applying for the Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University (SZABMU) entry test in Islamabad involves a clear process, primarily online. Always refer to the official SZABMU website for the most current and authoritative information, as procedures can change yearly.

General Steps (for MBBS/BDS under PMC): 1. Check Eligibility & Announcement: Visit the official SZABMU website (www.szabmu.edu.pk) and look for the "Admissions" section. Find the official advertisement/prospectus for the year you're applying. It will list eligibility criteria (FSc marks, etc.), test dates, and fees. 2. Online Registration: There will be an online admission portal. You'll need to create an account, fill in your personal and academic details (Matric, FSc marks), and upload scanned documents (photo, ID, certificates). 3. Fee Submission: Pay the prescribed test fee through the designated method (usually a bank challan or online payment). You'll get a payment confirmation slip. 4. Admit Card: After successful registration and fee verification, you can download your roll number slip/admit card from the portal before the test date. This is mandatory to enter the exam hall. 5. Prepare for the Test: The test is typically based on FSc (Pre-Medical) syllabus (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English). Use past papers if available.

Key Tip: The admissions are now mostly centralized under the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC) for the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT). SZABMU uses the national MDCAT score. So, you must register and appear for the PMC's MDCAT first. Then, when applying to SZABMU, you will submit your MDCAT score.

Start by checking both: PMC website and SZABMU admissions portal.
