Majid, you're right. Shifa is more expensive than other medical schools in the region, but there is a reason for that. Unlike Ayub, which is funded almost entirely by the Govt. of Pakistan, Shifa College which costs $12,000 per year, is not funded by the Govt of Pakistan at all. Being private it depends on tuition in order to raise funds to pay faculty, procure equipment for labs, and basically cover all the expenses of running a medical school.

That being said, Shifa does however have better facilities, a better student-to-microscope ratio than Govt schools, and a much more qualified faculty at its disposal. Also the fact that you'll be able to see patients under the instruction of physicians who have American and British degrees goes a long way in helping you hone your clinical sense.

As is often said, you get what you pay for. The govt schools are cheaper, but there is a difference in quality.
