KING EDWARD MEDICAL UNIVERSITY, LAHORE

Prof. Kamran is so crazy. I remember in first yr. he got mad at the girls for talking during his lecture. He then proceeded to kick them out. They were not allowed to attend class till they all signed an apology letter for being disruptive in class.

I also remember a time when the entire class came to his lecture early. Everyone one was talking and it did get loud. Well when he came into class he got so upset and started to curse at all of us calling us "third class students" and we don't deserve to sit in the lecture all where other great kemcolians sat.

I also remember another incident where the lecture did go over the time and it was eating into out "tea break". Well the girls all started to say "buuuuussss sssssiir" (meaning enough, lets end the lecture) He got so upset, cursed the girls out and then proceeded to throw the microphone across the room and said "no more lecture for the remainder of the year, get out your third class students" and then he said something which really freaked me out. He said " i will see to it that you all fail your professional exam!"

Of course we had class the following Saturday and the he was back to normal.

Weird character.

haha sweet. KE sounds like my kind of school... It's been threatened at Shifa, but has yet to happen. I'm staying optimistic though.

yea weird!

but when u ask him questions or stop to have a chat with him outside, he's extremely nice for some reason.........

hi all..

oh my god... dat sounds a bit scary :s but thank god i hav a house in lahore so i can stay there if i study medicine there..

some questions...

can i apply as a foreign student even though i hav a pakistani passport? but i was born in saudi arabia and hav lived here all my life.... my dads been here like 25 yrs but u dnt get saudi nationality so easily... and i m going to graduate with an american high school diploma dis june.. please let me know..

also.. i want to apply at KEMU and apply for technical assistance.. after i get my IBCC... shud i visit KEMU? im a bit confused about that procedure plz help thanks

Hey sara, unfortunately you can't. Speaking for my class, i know 7-8 students born and raised in the Middle East (all of them holding paki passports). All are on a local seat or a local self finance seat.

hey..

thanks...ali.

yeah i hav been researchin about that..and thats wat i found out too.. which sucks.. oh well..

hmm.. also.. is the entrance test for govt. colleges harder than the ones for private medical colleges?

and ali where are you going to university?

Hey sara, no prob.
Trust me you would rather be on local seat or a local self finance seat compared to a foreign seat.

I am a final yr student at KEMU ( on a foreign seat )

Hey ali, why would you rather be on a local/local self finance seat rather than a foreign seat? In what ways is it better? I wanna know cuz i'm looking forward to applying as a foreigner.

hey Nausha,

I was referring to Sara. She stated that she has a paki passport and was planning to apply on a foreign seat, which could not be done.

The context which i was referring to was that the amount which you have to pay in tuition.

(Strictly tuition ($US) at KEMU, hostel fees included not included below)
1. Local seat = about $250
2. Local self finance = about $4,500
3. Foreign Seat = $10,000 + the local tuition which comes out to $10,250
4. Foreign Seat Tech. Assistance = about $250.(really hard to get onto this seat)


Hope this clears things up.

yes it did.. for me definitely...
thanks ali... yah i see where u're coming from..

i guess if i apply to a govt. college i should apply as a local.... and i hav to give their entrance too... i guess.. right?

it must've cost u a lot to do med school as a foreigner compared to a local... oh wel you got in... but for locals.. is there a lot of competition?? do you hav any idea when the date for entrance test w
