LONDON, July 7: The UK-based Sindh Doctors’ Forum (SDF) has accused the vice-chancellor of the Dow University of Medical Sciences (DUMS) of deliberately keeping students from interior Sindh from entering his university, saying the DUMS held its entrance examination before the interior Sindh colleges declared their pre-medical examination results.

The SDF said this had happened despite specific directives to the DUMS from the Sindh chief minister to delay the entrance examination till the results of interior Sindh colleges’ pre-medical examination were declared.

“Unfortunately, it is not only the Dow University of Medical Sciences but most of the educational institution including Engineering, Law and Science Universities are out of bound for Sindhi students, “the SDF said in a resolution passed by the forum at its executive committee meeting here on Sunday.
