Where can I take the BMAT exam in Hyderabad?

Quick Answer verified

You cannot book a BMAT exam in Hyderabad because the BioMedical Admissions Test was discontinued after the 2023 exam cycle and is no longer offered anywhere. UK medical schools that previously used BMAT have moved to the UCAT for admissions instead.

You will not find a BMAT test centre in Hyderabad because the BioMedical Admissions Test was discontinued after the 2023 exam and is no longer offered anywhere, including in India. If you are applying for medicine abroad, you need a different test.

What This Means For Your Application

  • UK medicine and dentistry: universities that formerly required BMAT, such as Oxford, Cambridge, and Imperial, now use the UCAT instead.
  • Other countries: medical admissions tests differ by country, so check the specific requirement for each university on your shortlist.
  • Old BMAT scores: these are no longer relevant for any current admissions cycle.

My Advice

Register for the UCAT well ahead of your application deadline if you are targeting UK medical schools, and double check each university's current admissions test list before you finalise your preparation plan, since requirements have shifted since BMAT ended.
