A-Level students gripe about 'out-of-course' questions
Lahore: A-Level students on Monday complained against the out-of-course
questions in all the four sections of the entrance test for admissions
to medical/dental colleges of Punjab.The A-Level candidates, appearing
in the Medical Colleges Entrance Test (MCAT), have protested that a
substantial number of questions were not based on the A-Level syllabus
outline present on the website of the University of Health Sciences. The
candidates, in a press statement issued here on Monday, said that it
was a matter of concern that candidates, who were from an A-Level
background, were already discriminated against by a faulty equivalence
formula that restricted them to 935 marks out of 1100 (85%)
irrespective of the high marks they might have scored in the A-Level
exams. They said that due to the setting of MCAT questions from outside
the prescribed syllabus, the A-Level and other non-FSc candidates had
no hope of securing an open merit seat in any of the government medical
and dental college of the province. The A-Level students said
that they had followed the instructions of the UHS regarding the MCAT
yet the same instructions were disregarded by the paper-setters. Time
and again, they said, the administration and the vice-chancellor of the
UHS had informed the students at various forums and through the UHS
website that the MCAT questions would be based on the A-Level syllabus
present on the UHS website but that was not the case. The
students also gave a list of topics not present in the prescribed
A-Level syllabus but the questions in the MCAT 2009 were still set from
them, adding that in Biology, names of neurotransmitters in the brain;
cellular structure of cardiac muscle cell; trans location mutation of
DNA strand; inheritance of rhesus factor; presence or absence of
chemo-receptors for blood oxygen in aortic bodies. In Chemistry,
Determination of relative atomic mass of Neon (the information given
for calculation was incomplete) while in Physics, Graphical
relationship between force and potential energy. They said
that many more questions were out of course too. They reported many
more discrepancies in the question setting which was unfortunate and
would adversely affect the scores of A-Level MCAT candidates.

PMA blasts UHS for irregularities in entrance test
Lahore: The Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) has alleged
irregularities in the entrance test for admissions to medical/dental
colleges of the Punjab held under the aegis of University of Health
Sciences, Lahore. In
a joint statement issued here on Monday, PMA Lahore chapter President
Prof Yasmin Rashid, General Secretary Dr Tanveer Anwar, Vice President
Dr Abrar Ashraf Ali, Finance Secretary Dr Kamran Saeed and Joint
Secretary Dr Salman Kazmi, PMA Centre President Dr Sarwar Chaudhry and
Joint Secretary Dr Shahid Malik have said that the irregularities
committed in the UHS entrance test had put a big question mark on the
credibility of the entire examination system of the university. They
claimed that wrong answers were given in at least 20 questions, late
and wrong distribution of question papers at various centres, wrong
answer keys and wrong frame of papers were some of the major anomalies
during the entrance test. They said that the inefficiency and
irregularities committed by the UHS during the test had played with the
educational future of the students, which was unacceptable. "PMA
condemns it," they said. They further said that UHS had changed the
result of last year's entrance test three times. "It has given extreme
mental torture to the students and their parents," they said. The news

"UHS has set up the standards for Fsc and A level students and forced their decision on foreign students of Pakistani origin to qualify these tests, outrightly ignoring the facts that many countries in the world do not follow any of these curriculum. Students from USA and Canada have specially been discriminated having been forced to take these tests of which they had absolutely no bearings although they would be paying there tuition and other expenses in foreign currency which our country and institutions need badly. There is a very clear ulterior motive behind the imposition of this regulation of test on foreign students as in the past whatever seats were left after admission of foreign students, the local highest bidders to both the institutions and individuals were duly awarded those seats. Proves the intellect and brain bashing, though evil, of the person/s who devised the strategy. Well done Pakistan. Long live Quaid-e-Azams dream."

"There is no doubt tht UHS has comitted serious errors in not only setting the questions for the NON-FSC students but also in the scheme of answers displayed on their website. the biggest proof to support this allegation is the mere fact tht most of A-lvl studendts who appeared for M-CAT had very high grades in their A lvl examinations,so how can the same ppl perform so devastatingly in a test that has been prepared from their very sllybus. Uhs should reconsider their allocation of marks to the non-fsc students.They hav no right to toy wid the future of these candidates and undermine all their hardwork."
