Frequently asked questions

Do I need to join an academy in Karachi to clear MDCAT?

No. Many top scorers self-prep using free online resources + 4-5 mock cycles. Academies help if you struggle with discipline or daily structure, not because their content is uniquely better.

Are Karachi academies more expensive than other cities?

Big-city fees (Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad) tend to be 20–40% higher than smaller cities. Always factor commute, hostel and books into the total cost-to-benefit before committing.
