IBCC Equivalence for Pakistan Medical Colleges

Xero · 07-06-2008, 06:39 AM

One thing, I know is that they deduct 20% marks. So if u have 90% ur score will fall in 70% range! I read it here in the forum somewhere.

I'm mailing my transcripts and diploma (and other needed documents) to IBCC tomorrow. Does anyone know what is the easiest means of paying the fee required for the process? Lets say I transfer the money through Western Union, to which bank in Pakistan will I transfer the money to?

U shud ask them in the email about their bank account. Ask them which bank transaction u would like. There are around 15 banks around here, so u shud better ask!

Salam everyone -

So it is July 13th, 2008, and 12:04 am, and just today, my parents thought about me applying to a Med school in Pakistan. I have already accepted a college here in America, but am optimistic about this deal. I don't mind applying and attending a Paki college, in fact I like the idea, but I don't know if I am too late to start applying for it.
As I have read that the deadline is Aug 31st or Sept 1st, and tentative.
I have graduated High School, Alhamdulillah.
I have taken at least a year of bio, chem, and phyz.
Is that all the requirements I should be worried about?
How about preparing for the MCAT?

so there are only 50 seats that are supposed to be filled with foreigners. That's it? I feel like screaming: what's the point? Khalas - I'll be patient.
Are the seats split equally between each school? More seats for gov't schools than private, perhaps?

For Shifa medical coolege therlast date is Aug 3, You must have an equalance certificate from IBBC, Wah medical college is going to accept application from AUG 15 or 17. You have more time but the college is relatively new. You don't have to take any entery test if you apply as foriegn students, They have 5 seats for foriegn students, Hope this info will help you.

Welcome to the forum Maleeha. Please read ARE YOU APPLYING TO PAKISTAN MEDICAL SCHOOLS OR COLLEGES? READ THIS FIRST!!! thoroughly, it briefly outlines the procedure of applying to Pakistani med schools and will answer a lot of your questions(requirements, etc).

Oh and just to clear up any confusion -- for government schools foreigners NEVER have to take an entrance test, at some private schools they can take the test as an alternative to submitting certain test scores that the individual school requires(such as SAT IIs).

First thing to worry about is getting an IBCC certificate made. The following thread has tons of info on the process: IBCC Equivalence for Pakistan Medical Colleges

There's generally more seats in private schools than government. At Shifa(private school) there isn't a set number of seats for foreigners, the amount accepted varies from year to year.

They are deducting 20%?! I thought they only take off 10%.

Guys, i have about an average of 82/83. What are the chances of my acceptance?

Xero · 07-17-2008, 09:36 AM

U have good chances of being accepted by private colleges. And fair chance for government college too

Domicile is basically for local students. It is actually a document in which it is justified that the person belongs the certain province. For applying in Punjab government medical colleges u shud have a punjab domicile, and for sindh u shud have a sindh domicile and so on....

Thnx for the info. Wah medical college started functioning in the recent years but now it is in the list of approved colleges so is trustworthy.
