Meanwhile, KMU Vice-Chancellor prof Dr Ziaul-haq has said that the purpose of conducting the test was to save the future of the students aspiring for admission in allied health sciences programmes who, for whatever reason were not able to participate in the previous tests of KMU and now they were facing difficulties in getting admissions in KMU-affiliated institutes. he said that private institutes of allied health sciences affiliated with KMU are our main stakeholders, so protecting their interests and solving their problems is our top priority. he said that decision to hold the recent special KMU-CaT was taken at the request of the private sector, which would give them an opportunity to fill their vacant seats.

The VC said that peaceful and transparent conduct of the test is a testament to the hard work and professionalism of the entire staff of KMU.
