Held in accordance with Section 18 of the PMDC Act 2022, the NRE is a critical assessment tool to ensure that returning Pakistani graduates meet the required medical standards before gaining full registration as General Practitioners in Pakistan.
A total of 5,036 foreign-qualified medical graduates were registered for NRE-I 2025. This included 4,995 MBBS and 41 BDS graduates. The city-wise breakdown is as follows:
- Islamabad: 1,583 MBBS, 19 BDS
- Lahore: 2,538 MBBS, 15 BDS
- Peshawar: 442 MBBS, 3 BDS
- Karachi: 390 MBBS, 1 BDS
The theory component of the exam commenced at 9:30 AM and spanned three hours and thirty minutes. The **NRE consists of two parts—NRE-I and NRE-II—and candidates are required to achieve at least 60% marks in both parts separately to qualify.
