Using AI and innovation, PreMed.PK tackles MDCAT challenges with digital solutions.
In a year that the Pakistani education system has had to confront massive challenges, particularly the MDCAT 2024 paper leak scandal, an EdTech platform named PreMed.PK is introducing a fresh and fair way of learning. The company is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and tamper-proof digital solutions to get students ready for one of the most challenging medical entrance examinations in the country.
PreMed.PK was founded in 2021 with the mission to provide quality education at affordable and low prices. Approximately 200,000 students take the MDCAT exam every year, and the platform currently serves around 40,000 students every year. With gamified learning, AI-driven test preparation, and customized study plans, it actively engages and motivates students.
The integrity of the test process has come under scrutiny after the paper's 2024 leak controversy. Thousands of students were affected, and even a retest order had to be given by the Sindh High Court. In response to that, PreMed.PK developed an online platform that would not be subjected to this problem in the future.
Its founders, Dr Fahd Niaz Shaikh and Dr Hasnain Mankani, believe technology is the answer to some of the problems with the education system now. From computer-altered randomized test questions to biometric verification, they claim online solutions can make and protect tests more consistent.
PreMed.PK offers scholarships to poor students and allows other colleges to hold mock tests on its platform. The success of the founders is due entirely to the assistance of NIC Karachi, a startup incubator, which assisted them in sharpening their vision.
With Pakistan eyeing the future of building up its education infrastructure, PreMed.PK leads the path that EdTech can not only enhance learning but also bring an end to age-old issues in exam management and education access.
