Definitely the best public university, although campus sucks |

Join Date: Jan 2007 Status: Medical Student Location: Lahore, Pakistan | Entrance Test There is no entrance test for foreign students at KE, just make sure you have taken a year of Physics, Chem, and Biology in College/Uni/High School. The equivalence system for the IBCC is not really geared towards Americans, they will take your letter grades and turn them into a percentage based on a formula that may not necessarily apply to you. Canadian grades usually work out better. |

I think they may not work out well for people on dial-up connections. drbruin06, do you have a way of resizing images before uploading them? If not, let me know and I'll resize them for you. Thanks a lot though for hooking us up with some pictures. You're a good man, Charlie Brown.

In KEMU the methods of teaching and examining are very old. The resources for audio visual aids are limited, but they are improving. Now if any American still wants to read on, then KEMU gets the top ~200 students from the whole Punjab. So one can expect a sense of real competitiveness. The attached hospital is the best in Punjab in terms of facilites and faculty. In short the best thing is that Basal level of common sense is very high. But you would find some really weird kids here like me who failed in there professionals... This is what i can think of right now. Hope this helps. | |

Join Date: Feb 2007 Status: Pre-Medical Location: ny | i heard that the professors hate American students, would that grudge be held against me since i am applying and Inshallah hope to get in. I have a cousin in Alama Iqbal and he says it betters over their. So should i ignore the comments about how they treat Americans at KE or should I got to Alama Iqbal.I definitely want to go somewhere in Lahore, and those are the 2 best in Lahore, so what should I do? |
