Separate entry tests for overseas Pakistanis

LAHORE - University of Health Sciences will hold separate entry tests in the first week of October, 2008 for the overseas Pakistanis, foreigners and students of other provinces for admission in medical and dental colleges. It is for the first time that a separate exam is being arranged for the outsiders.

This entry test will be conducted by UHS, which is to conduct all the entry tests. Before that King Edward Medical Administration used to conduct the entry test in which there was no provision of participation of foreign students or Pakistani students living abroad. The Pakistani expatriates who wanted to join the medical profession back home have been pressing the govt to allow them to take part in the entry test.

Meanwhile, UHS announced the date September 14, 2008 for the entry test for the students from Punjab, which is too limited a time for the overseas students to complete their preparation. Hence, UHC fixed first week of October for the overseas’ students.
