Equivalence mark

Hi,

If applying for a foreign seat, is an equivalence mark of 775 good to get accepted in any government college?

i think the minimum you need is like 660. so dude u r pretty much set..

um not in any..................every year the competitiion rises and the kids who got into ke this year are all 900+, and 870+ for aimc....................take a look at last years selection lists at HEC's website and ull see where you stand..........

The most anyone can assure you is that you're eligible to apply. In terms of admissions, it really depends on competition, response of applicants, and a number of other factors.

Smeer is absolutely right! Well u r eligible to apply but 770 marks are not good. For government colleges u need at least 80% (around 870) to be in competition, becuz below that u will have to take above 90 % in the entry test, to be selected.
Having 80% marks, and then reaching the 80% point in the entry test will confirm u a seat!
Wat i know, my friend who attained 930 marks had problem getting in, although he got 81% in the test! Finally his name appeared in the 3rd list.
Anyhow, don't be dishearted u will qualify for the foreigners seats and u still have a chance there because everyone has to show their equivalence marks!

im pretty sad now... uh oh :S da ibcc people are realllly horrible... just cuz da dum guy at the counter had a bad day he took it out in my grades... i had a GPA of 3.6 outta 4... and now in da temporary certificate they made my marks 727 out of 1100 .. am i doomed?! i am planning to give the entrance test for govt. colleges in lahore... do i hav any chances of getting in? please do respond...

they don't take it out on anyone, get it rechecked by some other guy if he mis-calculated, but see if u don't have any ap score or lower scores i.e. 1,2,3 then ur ibcc will come out to 750 plus, but u never know bec less people might apply this year due to the condition in pakistan and 820 might be enough to get into AIMC or KE.

by the way ur GPA has nothing to do with the equivalence bec i has a 4.3 and ended with high 850+

Just have faith in God.

p.s when the list first comes out don't panic if ur at the bottom bec u will certainly move up at least 10 spots bec a lot of people change their mind when they actually come here and see the condition of med school in pk.

hey cooldude89 did u apply this year, and for wat colleges? wat was ur exact score with wat grades u had?

the ibcc people r ************* !!!!!!!!
theyr so stupid that the sometimes misplace your original documents and unless you dont have any good "safarish" to shove up their *** they dont be good to you

and just f.y.i
i got 935/1100 in the equivalence for fsc pre med and got a ! in the gov. college entrance test
so dont waste time studyin for it simply apply for private colleges

... hey guys... i have a question..
can anyone help plz...??

wa is the difference b/t external and internal examinations??

and what are canadian provincial exams .....internal or external??

plz help

I went through Canadian system as well and that too the provincial one. I tried convincing them that this can be taken as an external system because all schools in the province are required to comply by the rules and regulations of their single board but unfortunately, they will take this as an internal examination system and that would lead to deduction of 20 percent of your final marks.

I believe external examination systems would lead to a lesser deduction compared to internal, so that is the only difference between the two, in my opinion.

I'm not sure about the dictionary definition but external generally means that the way the grading system works is that everyone in the country takes a standard set of tests for that particular grade/subject, and those tests are graded by people outside your school where the grader doesn't have any influence or bias so that the exams can be graded as fairly as possible. That's how AP tests work at least and those are considered external examinations.

By that logic internal examinations refer to systems in which grades are determined by the instructor of the course or by people inside your school where the grading policy might defer from teacher to teacher or certain teachers might have different grading criteria which might change your letter grade. There isn't a universal examination pattern by which everyone in the country or state or region is graded in an equal manner, and your final marks/grades are distributed locally.

ur from USA uve done with internal examination
ur from UK uve done external examination
ur from pak uve done external examination
ur from canada, wait a sec, where the hell is canada anyway?...just kidding uve done internal examination...........

p.s. in pak med school u fail alot
