HEy I am confused

[shahlakh]

Actually I have finished my o levels successfully and now going to start A levels. What is now confusing me is that what subjects is required to get admission in pakistan medical colleges..........especially aga khan medical college and Dow medical college.
THANKS IN ADVANCE

 

[Nibz]

Biology, Chemistry and Physics are must. Besides this, you would be required to give their Entry Test.

 

[shahlakh]

so what i have to study in entry test

 

[Nibz]

The Entry Tests usually cover Biology, Physics, and Chemistry in equal portions and then attribute a small section to English and Mathematics.

 

[shahlakh]

Oh okay i understand................Apart from this are other subjects also required such as urdu, islamiyat or pak studies????

 

[Nibz]

Yes, IBCC would require you to give them for Equivalency Certificate.

 

[shahlakh]

whats that by the way???

 

[Nibz]

It is the Pakistani Government agency responsible for converting the grades/marks of foreign schools into the Pakistani educational system.

 

[shahlakh]

Oh okay. Well i have heard that the pakistan universities would cut my marks because i am doing uk qualification. so isn't that too risky???

 

[Nibz]

No, it's not. Work hard, leave the rest to Allah. Actually, it's quite hard for Foreigners to get Admission in the Government Medical Colleges; getting admission in the private ones is quite easier. So opt for the Private ones. If you choose to apply to a private medical college (i.e. Aga Khan or Shifa College of Medicine) you will have to take the SAT-II Subject Test exams in biology, chemistry, and physics. (Aga Khan University also requires you to give the SAT-I test)

 

[shahlakh]

oh but i have heard that they will accept A levels. I mean the aga khan one

 

[shahlakh]

Okay ny the way is it enough to do biology chemistry physics and maths in A levels for the admission of dow medical college????

 

[Nibz]

Yes You can drop maths if you want to.

 

[destined007]

Aga Khan will accept A level. For DOW you must have equivalence made.

 

[shahlakh]

so what is the fees of aga khan and dow?????

 

[destined007]

For DOW:

fee structure will be available here at later time.

 

[shahlakh]

oh okay thanks. But what would i have to do for the equivalence??? Should I do sat-I for that??

 

[Nibz]

What? NO!
You just have to do your O & A-level. That's it. They will convert your grades to marks.

 

[shahlakh]

so why do the fsc students do other subjects like pak studies, islamiyat and urdu?

 

[Nibz]

Because those are compulsory there.
