Students challenge PMC’s 60% requirement
SHC rejects plea of former FBR official against sentence awarded in sales tax refund scam
KARACHI:
The Sindh High Court issued notices on Monday to the Pakistan Medical Commission over a set of pleas challenging the 60 percent marks condition for eligibility in written bachelors of dental surgery (BDS) admission test.
The petitioners contend that the PMC initiated its admission process but restricted students with below 60 percent marks in their intermediate exams from sitting for the entrance test.
The petition mentions that there are 690 BDS seats in the province and 515 of them are vacant.
During the hearing, the petitioners counsel, Haider Waheed, argued that the minimum 60 percent mark requirement was unjust with students.
