Students demand HEC abolish NTS examination
Lahore, May 24, 2008: Students from
various institutions have demanded the Higher Education Commission (HEC) abolish
the requirement of passing an examination under the National Testing Services
(NTS) before getting admission to a higher educational institution.
The
students said on Friday that the NTS examination system should be
eliminated and the educational institutions should hold their own entry tests
for admissions.
HEC Executive Director Dr Sohail H Naqvi said Bachelor's
and Master's level institutions affiliated with the HEC were independent to take
decisions in this regard.
The HEC last year introduced a policy making
affiliated universities conduct the NTS examination and students required to
obtain at least 50 percent marks in it for their admission to Master's, MPhil,
and PhD programmes.
The HEC director said that clearing the NTS
examination was made compulsory, even for students who were studying in MPhil
and PhD programmes. According to the policy these students are required to pass
the test before they have finished their programmes, and it they do not, their
degrees will be cancelled.
The Punjab University (PU) and Education
University (EU) initiated the NTS examination system last year. This erupted
into a heated debate about the NTS examination and in the end several
institutions withdrew the NTS examination requirement and arranged their own
entry tests for admissions. The PU administration recently abolished the NTS
examination and announced that its departments would conduct their own entry
tests.
PU Admission Committee Chairman Dr Jamil Anwer said that it was
decided in a meeting with the PU deans that the university would not hold the
NTS examination this year and instead the departments would conduct their own
entry tests for Bachelor's and Master's classes.
GCU: This year, the NTS
examination issue arose again when the Government College University (GCU)
Lahore made the NTS examination compulsory for students who wanted admission.
GCU Communications Adviser Iqbal Anjum said that this year students would have
to clear the NTS examination for their admission to the university, otherwise
they would be refused.
The students said the GCU's announcement had
disappointed them, and they wanted the HEC to end the NTS examination
system.
PU student Bilal Sheikh said they had been confused for the last
few months, since they had to join various academies to prepare for the NTS
examination.
Another PU student of Social Sciences Department, Ammara
Khan, said she had thrice sat in the NTS examination but she could not pass it.
"It is a difficult examination, especially for arts' students, since it contains
mathematical, scientific and analytical questions," she added.
FCCU:
Suliman Farooq, an intermediate student at Forman Christian College University
(FCCU), said students feared FCCU would also start the NTS examination for
admission in its BS Honour classes. Farooq said that due to the NTS examination
many students would be deprived of admission to various reputed institutions.
However, FCCU Registrar Prof Hamid Saeed said FCCU would continue
holding its own entry test for students' admission to Bachelor's and Master's
classes.
BNU: Beaconhouse National University (BNU) teacher Arfa Sarfraz
said the NTS examination was not a suitable way to check the academic level of a
student. She said that BNU would not conduct the NTS examination.
BNU
President Dr Mumtaz Ahmed Salik said that they opposed the NTS examination, and
that it was disturbing students.
LCWU: Lahore College for Women
University (LCWU) Communication Adviser Anjum Zia said that the LCWU departments
would conduct their own entry tests. KC: A Kinnaird College (KC) official said
that the college conducted its own entry tests last year, and would continue the
practice this year. Daily Times

This year's Marta Kya Na Karta takes to LUMS stage
Lahore: The Lahore University of
Management Sciences (LUMS) Dramatics Society presented its annual play ' Marta,
Kya na Karta' at Alhamrah Hall No 2 on Friday night. The theme and script of the
story was adapted from English play ' Accidental death of an Anarchist' written
by Dario Fo.
Pakistan Tehreek-e- Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan was the
chief guest. Students from different institutes and others attended the
play.
LUMS Dramatics Society President Usman Khalid said that
they were performing the annual play of the society and students from different
departments of LUMS had taken part. He said that the English version of the play
' Accidental death of an Anarchist' was a farce of a real life incident that had
taken place in Italy in 1969. He said that the setting of the play was a police
station where the main character, the Manic (played by actor Jali), proceeded to
investigate an incident in which an alleged anarchist falls from the window of
the police headquarters where he was being interrogated and reveals the idiocy
of the lies spun by government officials. He said that the play was a satire
that exposed the issues of police corruption and brutality, manipulation of
information and lack of accountability in the judicial system.
