PESHAWAR: Peshawar High Court on Tuesday summoned officials of the Pakistan Medical Council (PMC) after the Federal Investigation Agency and National Accountability Bureau submitted a report against private medical colleges.
The report revealed that private medical colleges were involved in gross irregularities during recent admissions of MBBS by misusing the 20 percent discretionary marks for ulterior motives. It stated that candidates low on PMC merit were awarded higher marks in the so-called interview.
“No proper merit lists were displayed during the process for transparency. Some colleges have received donations and an advance fee of 6/ 7 million in a lump sum from students and even bank guarantees were obtained from the students. Thus deserving students in the merit were deprived of their right,” stated the FIR.
