Someone else posted the same question a while back on the "Need Help With DIMC Foreigner's Application and the Ibcc Equivalence Form!!!" thread about 2-3 weeks ago. The response was that you should try calling up DIMC and asking them directly whether or not you've been accepted.

You can read the original (previous) inquiring post and reply here.

**Props to the site's "search" function, helped me find the post I was looking for

I'm in Karachi right now visiting all of the schools around here and DIMC is the best I've seen aside from AKU. Inshallah I'll be going to DIMC this upcoming session. If any guys from the new upcoming batch are in town and are trying to arrange a place to stay, send me a message. I'm looking at a place in Clifton right next to the Forum mall (25-50 mins drive to the school depending on traffic conditions.)

I applied to DIMC and I'm curious to know about when they are going to announce the list of successful candidates to be called for an interview. =\ is there anyway we can check?

They told me there will be a complete merit list by Friday or Monday.

Are they really gonna hold interviews? I didn't know about that.

Soo I keep hearing that DIMC will start classes in the last week of September or the first week of October. Then I heard that the first day will be on October 8th, and a little while ago I heard differently. First an admin told me about it, then an actual student who currently attends the university gave me another date. Anyone know or hear anything about this?

I went to DMC today to see if they had posted anything like a merit list showing who's in for this upcoming batch. I got a chance to speak with the Dean of Admissions, who told me that there won't be an official list until at least Tuesday. As far as a starting date, she told me either the end of September or the first week October.

btw she didn't mention any kind of interview process.

Yeah that's exactly what she said to me when I called the admissions committee up a few nights ago. Was it Dr. Rana by chance? Whatever the date, I'm sure it's going to be after Eid.

When do we find out about the list of books (plus whatever else) we need for classes? I'm guessing the first day of class, but it'd be better if they told us ahead of time.

Oh and I think there is a guys' hostel on campus, not 100% sure though. I saw the girls' hostel and it's pretty nice. I heard that there's no AC in the building (unless you install your own?)

Tarikq786 · 09-05-2008, 10:01 AM

Ya it was Dr. Rana. When I asked her regarding the books situation, she said that students who are accepted will be provided with a full booklist (I'm assuming via email or on the DIMC website.)

I did see the old boys hostels one of the times I visited the campus last week. From what I was told by students who are already attending the school, it was closed due to "security issues". The girls hostels don't have AC but I would assume most of girls who attend will end up installing one.

I know you guys are looking for a list of the exact books DIMC wants you to have for classes/tests, but as a heads up I would strongly recommend checking out the 1st Year MBBS Book List thread. MastahRiz's post at the beginning contains a solid list of books you should have no matter what medical college in Pakistan you'll be attending.
