ZuluPAKISTAN: The Punjab government has officially released its admission policy for medical and dental colleges across the province, as reported by PropPakistani.pk. This policy, which received approval from the provincial cabinet, was put into effect following a notification from the Specialized Healthcare Department on Friday.
Significant Changes for Islamabad Students
A notable modification in the new policy significantly impacts students from Islamabad. The revised guidelines have allocated only three seats for federal capital students in Punjab’s medical colleges, effectively ending their eligibility for open merit admissions in MBBS programs.
This alteration has reportedly caused disappointment among Islamabad-based students, who previously enjoyed broader opportunities to compete on merit for admissions in Punjab’s medical institutions.
Expansion of Medical Education Capacity
In a separate development, Narowal Medical College has been granted permission to admit 100 students for the current academic year. This move is set to expand the capacity for medical education within the province.
Application Timeline for 2024-2025 Academic Year
The admission process for the upcoming academic year has been carefully scheduled:
- Government medical colleges: October 21 – November 4, 2024
- Private medical colleges: November 5 – November 19, 2024
- Government dental colleges: November 20 – December 4, 2024
- Private dental colleges: December 5 – December 19, 2024
Commencement of Classes
The article states that classes for MBBS programs are scheduled to begin on February 1, 2025. Meanwhile, Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) courses are set to commence on March 1, 2025.
Supervision of Admissions Process
The University of Health Sciences (UHS) has been tasked with overseeing the admissions process for both medical and dental colleges throughout Punjab.
This comprehensive revision of the admission policy marks a significant shift in the landscape of medical and dental education in Punjab, with potential far-reaching implications for aspiring healthcare professionals in the region.
