PESHAWAR, Jan 31: Many students belonging to the Federally Administered Tribal Areas staged a protest demonstration in front of the Governor House against what they called the “delaying tactics” adopted by the administration in their admission to Khyber Medical College.

They held that they had appeared in an entrance test for admission to KMC on Oct 27, last year. The result of the test was announced the next day. The oral interviews were conducted from Dec 1 to 3 and the eligible students were issued selection letters on the day of their interview, they added.
