NWFP Entry Test 2009 For Admission In Medical colleges

11,214 Take Test For Medical colleges

PESHAWAR: Heavy windstorm hampered the timely arrangement of entry test for the public sector medical and dental colleges in the NWFP held simultaneously here and at the Abbottabad centre on Sunday.

The test was scheduled to be started at 9.30 a.m. at Karnal Sher Khan Stadium in Peshawar and at the Ayub Medical Complex in Abbottabad. The management and students, however, faced serious difficulty when the windstorm uprooted the tents put up to serve as the examination hall at Karnal Sher Khan Stadium. The organisers managed to erect the tents and start the entry test at 11 a.m.

Due to the situation in Peshawar, the test at Abbottabad too was delayed so that it could be held simultaneously at both the centres to avoid any paper leakage or use of unfair means. A total of 11,214 candidates, including 6,250 male students and 5,700 females, appeared in the test. Students would be selected for admission to the eight public sector medical colleges in the province — Khyber Medical College, Peshawar; Khyber Medical College for Girls, Peshawar; Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad; Saidu Medical College, Swat; Gomal Medical College, DI Khan; Bannu Medical College, Kohat Medical College and the newly established Bacha Khan Medical College, Mardan — and one dental college — Khyber College of Dentistry, Peshawar.

A senior official of the Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency (ETEA), who was present on the occasion to conduct the entry test, told The News that it was held in a fair and transparent manner. He said that the results of the test would be declared within 48 hours and would be displayed on the official website of ETEA.
