Lahore, Aug 22, 2008: Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif
on Thursday constituted a high-level committee in connection with conducting the
entry test for the current academic year for admission in medical colleges in a
transparent and improved fashion. The committee has been ordered to make its
recommendations regarding short-term measures within 48 hours and long-term
measures within two weeks.
The committee is headed by the Health
secretary and also comprises the principals and vice chancellors of several
Lahore varsities. In the short-term measures, the committee will recommend how
the system of entry can be made more reliable and credible. The committee will
also review the commercial aspect, including the exorbitant fees being charged
by academies offering courses to clear entry test. It will also finalise a
mechanism to rationalise the equivalence criteria for A-Level students. In the
long-term measures, the committee will examine the current system of FSc
examination in detail and make suggestions as to how it can be
improved. Daily Times

"According to my point of view entry test system must not be abolished because it is the real test of students.In board exams many students use unfair means to get higher marks so in case if the entry test continues such students surely will fail . In this way the other students get a fair chance."
