The written test: what we know, and what to expect
What FPSC has confirmed
- It is an objective MCQ test, tentatively starting from 2 January 2027.
- The schedule and syllabus will appear on the FPSC website only. No separate notice will be sent.
- The admission certificate is uploaded about two weeks before the test. Bring your original CNIC and a printout of the admission certificate.
- A mobile phone or any electronic device found in the exam hall means disqualification and a permanent ban from FPSC tests.
- Requests for a change of exam centre are accepted only within 10 days of the closing date.
What it will probably look like
The syllabus for this post has not been printed in the advertisement, but there is little to worry about. FPSC has used the same written-test pattern for its medical posts again and again, and this test is expected to follow it. Prepare on this pattern: 100 MCQs in 100 minutes for 100 marks, with 0.25 negative marking. The paper is split into English (20 marks), covering vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, active and passive voice, and direct and indirect speech, and Professional (80 marks), covering core MBBS subjects, care vs cure, health policies of the government and challenges in the healthcare sector.
On shortlisting, the advertisement says candidates will be shortlisted as per FPSC policy in its General Instructions. A common working estimate is about three candidates per vacancy, which would mean roughly 75 for 25 seats. Treat that as an estimate and check the General Instructions.

Using the weeks you have
From now to 2 January you have roughly eight weeks. Here is a simple way to spend them:
- Weeks 1 and 2: English. It carries 20 marks and is the quickest part to improve. A little practice every day on the five topics goes a long way.
- Weeks 3 to 6: core MBBS subjects. Solve subject-wise MCQs, then read the explanations for the ones you got wrong. That is where the learning happens.
- Weeks 7 and 8: timed papers. Practise full 100-MCQ papers in 100 minutes with negative marking, and learn which doubtful questions to leave.
