I learned Punjabi from my cousins, uncles, classmates, my gardener, and others. Its good to know it. When you start attending wards majority(not all) of your patients will only talk Punjabi with you. So its good to get down some general questions in Punjabi and responses. As long as your urdu is clear then you shouldn't have any problems. I did run into a couple of patients that had a difficult time understanding my urdu. Everyone says my urdu sounds like a pathans urdu #baffled, although i m not pathan. I have trouble associating masculine and feminine tenses and for some reason i keep on referring to myself as "hum" lol

Oh i think that there is like 5-6 different dialects of Punjabi itself. The weirdest one that i have heard was Siriyki! Had no idea what the guy was saying.

i think it was that way abt 10 years ago...........but now each govt college has 4 self finance seats for foreigners and competition for these is also rising which means you have to be a pretty much straight A student to get into KE and AIMC.........



oh crud......i just learnd rite now that they have cancelled spring break! aghhh!!!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to gain admission into a Pakistan Govt. Medical School, attend it for 5 years, and escape with an MBBS Degree. Your task wont be easy my friend. You will have to deal 4 professional exams, lectures taught in bad english, people asking for bribes, and countless people who dont speak proper english and will mock you all the time saying "Why did you come to Pakistan for studies" AND stares from others constantly wondering how much money you have and how many girls and clubs you danced around in your magical UMreekan life.

Do not be detered. Your mission objectives:

1. Get an economy plus ticket on Pakistan Intl Airlines after securing your 5 year pakistani visa or NICOP card. Make sure to bring along copies of your parents passports, your originial high school diploma, your SEALED transcripts (a few extras to be safe) with biology, chemistry, and physics on them (if not, return back to home and abort mission for another year) and $35,000 to $60,000 for tuition and other expenses such as rough toilet paper, go-carts considered vehicles, and other misc things such as prepaid cell phone cards and a 5 year term of missed calls (you will learn in time my son). Arrive in pakistan, pay off the custom agents who think your here to smuggle in Maxim magazines to the starving masses.

2. Find a place to stay, be it that long lost uncle you never knew you had who is in the army or works in some kind of property business and who's kids drive 'Type-R' vehicles. (in time.. in time).

3. Find and Locate the IBCC office located somewhere deep behind Islamabad lines. First find an application form and bank challan form. Fill it out, deposit the fees and turn in your documents and application form and wait 2 weeks. You will come back and find they have granted you a Pre-Engineering equivalence. Again, you will fight w/them using your Umreekan skills where they will try to take more advantage of you saying pay us some more and we will grant you whatever you desire. Come back again in 2 weeks and get your pre-medical equivalence which is below 60% so not enough to even bother applying. Again, come back after a while and some more bribes and then your set with 60+% and PRE MED! First mission objective... complete.

4. Find and locate the Higher Education Commission in Islamabad near president house in Q or C block, I cannot say for sure and neither can you, located on the 4th floor at the end of a funny long hallway where a man, I cannot say his name here, will be sitting. He will be wearing an outfit that cost no more than 3 dollars and has a long beard and sitting in front of a typewriter. Sit and have Tea with him tell him how wonderful pakistan is and what a beautiful religon islam is. Obtain the application form and details. Make 10 copies and turn everything in along with copies of everything attested by some govt baboon with a stamper and an ink pad.

5. Now you go into Paki mode enjoying mangoes, watching cheap pirated dvd's and waiting for the admission results. You will certainly be put into some college in some hidden district of Punjab or Sindh. Your mission is over. If you choose to attend, turn to page 35. If you decide to go to the bathroom and relieve your diareah, turn to page 22. Choose your own adventure.

This topic message will self destruct when the internet is over, when this website is shut down, or when the Moderator Reheeni decides to shut it down. In any case, good luck.

maik7upurz your original post cracked me up! It hit close to home. I'm thinking about leaving my current condo in downtown Toronto for a life of gender discrimination and MBBS...
I might be a little off topic, but I would really appreciate an answer. I'm in my junior year, doing a bachelors of science in Global Health from the University of Toronto. Public Health and Policy making are the domains that I'd be working in. I'm a candidate for a pHD/masters in public health, however, my parents who are surgeons in Pakistan are adamant that I become a surgeon like them or I will likely starve to death working for WHO in underpaid third world countries trying to make a difference. They do have a point. And I am seriously considering Pakistani medical schools. I have dual nationality; Canadian and Pakistani.
I hear my undergrad is useless in Pakistan. That's a good waste of money. And that my highschool grades are all that count even if I am applying on a foreign seat. So my question is what are the odds that I will get admission in Lahore on a foreign seat, I have 7A's and 3B's (Islamic Studies, Urdu, Pak.studies) in O'levels and a B (bio), C (chem) and a D (phys) in A-levels (Don't judge, my mother was fighting cancer, I was a mess, its a miracle I passed A-levels).

This is my first post here, please forgive any mistakes!
I would like to apply to Army Medical College in Pakistan for MBBS.
Where can I get the application form for national, foreign, and PTAP students?
Is there anywhere i can download it? and what is the application deadline?
Also, could someone please explain this PTAP system to me, I feel my information isn't complete regarding it.
Do any other medical colleges use PTAP? If so, which ones?
I would really really appreciate if someone could answer my questions as soon as possible
