PESHAWAR, Oct 8: As many as 3,980 boys and girls appeared in the entry test for admission to NWFP medical colleges held at the Qayyum Stadium here on Sunday.

The NWFP minister for education and information, Syed Imtiaz Hussain Shah Gillani, inspected the arrangements made for conducting the test in a transparent manner.
