KARACHI: The Sindh government decided in principle to allocate 95 percent of the seats in private medical and dental colleges for local candidates.
According to a notification issued by the provincial health department, it was mandatory for private medical colleges to grant at least 95 percent admissions to the candidates of Sindhi domiciles.
“The remaining five percent of seats are to be reserved for the students from other provinces,” it added. The development comes in line with a cabinet decision.
It is worth mentioning here that the Sindh cabinet had earlier decided to establish the Sindh Medical Commission (SMC) and approved a requirement for the private medical institutions to give at least 95 percent admissions to students of the province.
The provincial government is reportedly working on legislation for the Sindh Medical and Dental Council (SMDC) that will be a provincial counterpart of the centrally-operated PMC.
