Tuition centres in Lahore begin NTS exam classes
LAHORE, May 30(Daily Times): Many tuition centres in the city have started preparatory
classes for entry tests conducted by the National Testing Service for admissions
to universities.
A survey conducted on Tuesday revealed
that tuitions centres were offering one-month or 45-day programmes for the
preparations of entry tests. Many tuition centres have advertised their entry
test programmes in newspapers and displayed banners. Most tuition centres are
charging from Rs 2,500 to Rs 4,000 for the preparation of entry tests. Rana
Academy near Punjab Civil Secretariat has offered a 45-day special programme to
students for the preparation of entry tests for the Punjab University for Rs
4,000.
Talking to us, Prof MA Rana, the principal of Rana
Academy, said that the academy had started classes for entry tests' preparation.
He said that he could not comment whether entry tests were good or not. Prof
Sohaib, a teacher at Scholar Academy near Outfall Road, said the entry test
preparation classes had started at the tuition centre. Ahmed, a BA student, said
that he was planning to join a tuition centre for the preparation of entry test
because he wanted to get admission to the PU Political Science
Department.
Falak, a BSc student, said that the entry test system was
unjustified and that it was a financial burden on students belonging to poor
families. "The government should adopt the open merit policy," he added.

"Tuition centres should not be abolised as it is a source of income for teachers who are unemployed."
