Only 53 students get admission in medical colleges

LAHORE - The number of A-level students who may get admission in medical college this year is expected to be too small as compared to FSc students as a result the unsuccessful students have no option like in the past other than to go abroad and study there.

These students who could not clear the entry test will be left with no option but to go abroad for studies as their qualifications are internationally recognised and they can get admission in the top educational institutions of the world but unluckily not in Pakistan. It is all owing to the Inter Board of Chairmen Committee’s decision to put a seal of 935 marks on the A level students while many FSc students are now getting more than 1,000 marks leaving no room for them.

This is evident from a study made as to how many A-level students got admission in the recent past. Facts collected by The Nation revealed that the presence of A level students in medical colleges was extremely pathetic in 2007.
