i will suggest you to join sharif. i dont think so that there is big difference between sharif and Shalamar. fee for sharif is less as compared to shalamar. sharif has made much improvement as far as its hospital is concerned and they will show further improvement too in the upcoming years. And they take students to itefaq hospital too. the environment is too good and studies and results are superb. i was in the same confusion too.. i visited sharif and shalamar and finally decided to select sharif.:):)

yeah i asked many students over there...and they were saying that sharif college is showing much improvement every day. and studies are best in sharif. faculty is also very good. i preferred sharif because i visited both colleges and hospitals and i like sharif more than shalamar. i know many students in sharif and they were well satisfied with their college. and sharif has also started post doc studies.this shows that it is improving day by day.

definitely shalamar...conidering that shalamar is situated in the heart of lahore city..and its hosp is one of the oldest in lahore..nd it is a very busy hosp which offer free treatment..so u get more practice there..sharif is far away frm city with much less variety of patients,,and the kind of results which shalamr ha shown in last 3 year are awsm..last year the 1st yr of shalamr showd 99% result..nd in 2nd yr a grl topped in uhs..the campus of shalamr is awsm..better than any other med college.. this thread will help you

Thats like a good buddy rockstar;)
you know in my view every college is good at its own place literaly every college...:p
And getting admission in any MEdICaL college weather it is cmh, fmh, skzmdc, shifa, aku, rlmc, akhtr saed, lmdc, shlmr or any other govt, pvt college is really a great great blessing of ALMiGHTY:) we all are blessed with it and HE made our fate much much better than many others who cant make it to mbbs and will now opt for d-pharm, bsc and even bcom and else things and from those some lion hearted persons will gonna repeat which i personally say is a tough job, family pressure, your own dreams and friends getting in mbbs really make it difficult to some extent....:hungover:
so it dont matter weather someone is getting in lmdc or shlmar....in the end we all would gonna be DOCTOrS...:thumbsup:good and talented doctors
so humiliating any college syng it garden or resembling any college wth grapes:!: is not that good
and syng that i didnt apply in that college for its bad repo and i didnt apply in that college bcoxz fla na college is low value makes no sense...u ppl didnt apply in those college because ALLAH dont want u to go there:)
Or you can say we all get admission in that college, whose chairman's pocket is to be filled by our parents money:D:D
sso0ooo chill awam:cool!: in upcoming days we all would get happily so00oo busy that we couldnt have time to tak bath peacfully:D
stay blessed:thumbsup:

If that's true, then how do I know that you placed #239 on Shifa's Entrance Exam? You already stated your name earlier in your posts....but maybe you forgot that? :D When will you learn to tell the truth, Aadil Mahmood? :p

Anyways, I'm sure you'll get upset now and PM me because I exposed you for lying to all the members on here, but oh well. I'd rather people know the truth than be fooled by people like you.
hahah...thats rediculous....my name is not adil...haha...:pu got wrong info my dear:thumbsup:and i didnt get 239 position...i was in top 80

How good or bad a college might be is decided by the hospital. More the patients, better the college. Shalamar has like wayy more patients than Gurki hospital so yeah SMDC is better than LMDC.

I'm still hoping I get a call from CMH. It's like the best pvt med college.

Here's hoping all colleges manage to alongside Shalamar and Sharif.

I think you missed the part where I alluded to the fact that NS' govt will last 4 more years. That was an allusion that anyone would have picked up on (or at least that's what I thought)
Prolly defy history. And yet Sharif still did in retrospect, so I figured you were hinting something else.

What else:
Better faculty
better facilities
better hostels(really like houses within the campus)
more secure
location is both a pro and a con because it's so far away from the city, but it does allow them to have a lot more room. Like they can still utilise all of the 60 acres that they have(or maybe 80) but shalamar cannot expand. It will remain the size it is. Sharif can even still expand.

And I would just like to reiterate that Sharif>>Shalamar
Any source(s)?
60 acres is a lot. Eager to see what becomes of it, could stand-out.


Shalamar is the ONLY medical college whose seating capacity in Lecture Halls is more than the class strength and according to PMDC, Shalamar has the HIGHEST Student to Faculty ratio of 3:1.
3:1 is the highest faculty to student ratio all over? :O

I am not even saying that Sharif is bad it's good in fact. But it's NOT BETTER THAN Shalamar, by any means.
On a scale of 1 to 10, does Sharif cross 7? Because with PMDC cutting the 2014 entrees work out and the unpredictable merit cut-off, I need to look into other alternatives (Sharif's one of them now).

loL brah, I think you need to go look up the word "biased" in the dictionary, because you are using it wrong. Let me put it another ; person x goes to school a and says that xis the best school ever. Person y neither goes to school a or school b but says b is better. Who seems biased here? I of course used this analogy assuming that you have basic mental faculties, I might be presuming too much here and for that I am sorry.
* i.e. 'a'
LOL, if x is the best, why go to school?

Chill people. There's no need to get so worked up on a difference of opinion and personally attack one another. This could be a pretty resourceful thread as googling 'Sharif vs. Shalamar medical college" brings up this thread or this (Oh, OP)

Ahaha, I feel nervous posting in the middle of an argument.
But Sonnen, need I remind you that, "All the world's a stage" ?
LOL... world's stage, the discussion's tonality, trophies, a treat from the winner owed, right Fel?
