MBBS entry test

Published February 20, 2020

STUDENTS from various districts come to Quetta to prepare for medical college admission test. The Bolan University of Medical and Health Sciences is the only medical university in the province.

Parents think that medical profession is this only field which offers their son or daughter lucrative job.

I recently went to a coaching centre which prepares students for the entry test. I went there to inquire about admission for someone. I was shocked knowing that they were demanding Rs19,000 for only four months. It is unfair to students who cannot afford the fee.

The authorities concerned should take action against such institutes.
