IBCC Equivalence for Pakistan Medical Colleges

^ Not true!

Foreigners are able to change there medical college after 2nd year papers. Assuming they pass (and sadly many don't) your gonna have to:

1. Get a letter from the dean/principal of the college you want to leave (good luck)
2. Get a letter from the dean/principal of the college you want go GO too
3. Get a letter from the provincial Minister of Health (if your going to another province you have to get a letter from the provincial health minsiter of that province as well).

If you get that far, then either PMDC or the HEC will look after switching you, but rarely anyone gets that far. It's almost impossible getting past step 1 lol. There is another way, that is if you have mutual migration with another person at the college you want to go to.

Hi every one

I have a question .....if the person have done grade 11 from Canada and grade 12 form Pakistan and wants to apply form medical in Pakistan .....will the IBCC still deduct 20% marks from the grade 11.

kool_goose2 · 07-30-2008, 06:00 PM

as far as i know i think they want u to do both grade 11, and 12 from abroad to be considered as a foreign.

nayabkhan01 · 07-30-2008, 08:48 PM

no ....i mean what if the person want to apply to medical as a local student.

Hey I read the website from the IBCC, I took some classes at community college that I couldn't take at High School, They ask me attach current things about my high school, should I also attach those things from my college ?

And how hard is it to get into private colleges in Pakistan?

So the IBCC does not require my SAT II scores?

Alright, I'm so sorry if this is a repeat... but I've been reading through this forum as well as the crappy IBCC site (which doesn't even work and is conveniently *under construction*) for the past hour, and I have been unable to precisely find out what the required subjects for equivalence are.
I read here that the IBCC look at 10 subjects: 11th grade Bio, Phy, Chem, Eng, 12th grade Bio, Phy, Chem and 2 electives.
I went on the IBCC site (This is Inter Board Committee of Chairman), clicked on the "Criteria for Private Schools following American Education System" but was unable to access it.
Then I did a search of "IBCC required subjects" at this forum and found this post (by MedGrunt - link: ):
IBCC requires 1 year each of the following subjects: biology, chemistry, and physics...

So, can someone CLEARLY tell me what exactly are the prerequisites for the IBCC certificate? How many years of bio, chem and physics do we need to apply for equivalence?

I had the same question, so I called them last night, and I actually got through eventually...
But the Sir said that you only need 1 year of each

paddu · 08-19-2008, 05:03 PM

Oh, that's a relief.
Thank you so much!

Btw, I'm pretty sure the IBCC does not need SAT II scores.
Only need those if you are applying to private med schools in Pakistan.

Yup, you guys got it.

Do they conduct 20% of your final score? or 20% of each your classes?

Salaam guys,

I am gonna interrupt the flow of things for a tiny moment and add my problem in here as well.

I have currently finished 3 years of university at a canadian university (of a 4 year uni program) and I had received my high school diploma 3 years ago. The only problem is that my high school marks aren't that good and I am planning on repeating them. Now my question is that does IBCC look at high school marks (for equivalence) repeated after 3 years?

Thanks in advance.

I don't see any problem with that. They should have no problem equating your repeated marks into the IBCC equivalence. It would also be advisable for you to call them and directly ask for their opinion on it.
