1. No Pre-med requirement (it's true!)

2. You're a doctor by as early as 24

3. Studying in an Islamic environment

4. You see ten times the patients with conditions ten times as worse as compared to the US or UK

5. If you're a girl you usually get married by the third year haha.

6. The food in Pakistan, is by far, the best thing about this place.

7. The tuition and living is less costly.

The list goes on. I'm sure other people can add in some more things they like about this place, like the fact that you can buy a dvd for less than two bucks! You can find some pros and cons here

yah thats true there are many benefits fir studying Pakistan. Considering how many patients we get to see well have a great clinical experience. Also living in a countrey so diff from were u live in will be an amazing experience too. The only thing I did'nt lke was #5 girls getting married by their 3rd which is sooo dumb but sadly true! And other girls that become doctors and don't even end up practiceing...whats the point???? Just becoming a Doctor for the name is pointless. all thoughs years of studying goes to TRASH.

Yup, I hear you loud and clear on that one. Some would say that they even take away seats from guys who would actually end up practicing... Interesting topic to say the least.

Heyy everyone..
Well, the IBCC people are a bunch of !@#$
They deducted 20% off my grades coz I have a European diploma.
Apparently the fact that I followed 12 courses and cleared all of them wasn't important enough for them.
And the fact that only 13% of the people in The Netherlands actually obtain this diploma doesn't either.
I personally think I will try my luck elsewhere, but my folks were wondering if
there were any courses which could make my scores of the IBCC equivalence go up
(like giving A-levels in Pak Studies & Islamiyat or maybe AP classes).

I am still stunned at the utter nonsense that has occured.

If you're grades are high enough, then even with the 20% deduction you'll still meet the minimum requirement of some med schools in pakistan. Can't worry too much about the IBCC, but yeah, easier said than done.

Assalamualaikum everyone!!!

I just have a straightforward question for u ppl: Ill be applying as a foreigner next year and have IBCC equivalence score of 935. what are my chances of getting into KEMU??

MastahRiz · 09-27-2006, 02:15 AM

I'd say you have a decent shot, but it all depends on how many other foreigners are applying and what their respective equivalence scores are. Best of luck.

BredtobeMed · 09-27-2006, 02:14 PM

Thanks for the reply MatahRiz!!
btw what about tech assistance is there a min requirement for that or is it limited to the top candidates?

Doc_Ammara · 09-28-2006, 09:20 AM

@ bredtobedoctor
ohh thats one big shot! i must say! because you are having this much score after equivlence,so there are bright chances for you to enter KEMC next year! the only thing you have to do is a bit hard-work for entry test exam! though you are already a good student,so i hope you are going to prepare for it well too.so go ahead,u can do it,God willing!
best wishes,

I went to the HEC office today and asked them when are they going to let the foriegn students (self-finance) know if they got accepted meaning the merit list. The guy gave me this website and said to go on it in a couple of days. www.hec.gov.pk/sfs

Note: I checked the website, the list is not up yet. But try later on today or tomorrow.

UltraSpy · 09-29-2006, 12:03 AM

Correction to the ABOVE post. The list on the website is up. Just go on www.hec.gov.pk/sfs and click on the red link on the top of the page. I am sad I didn't make the list but Good Luck to the rest of you.
