Hey Guys
I just wanted to ask few questions about PTAP
i saw the merit list for 2021 session and it only has 20 seats for MBBS and 2 seats for BDS
however according to UHS Seats distribution PTAP should have 72 seats
where are the rest 52 seats?
Latest Punjab Seat Allocation Session 2020-2021 (uhs.edu.pk)

The rest of the seats are for friendly countries.

 

[Salmansajid]

what friendly countries?
and the letter specifically said for foreign/dual national for PTAP
it didn't mention friendly countries
20 seats for Dual National Pakistanis and 52 seats for Non Pakistanis
these seats are not enough even for Pakistani students but yet they are giving 52 seats to non Pakistanis

 

[Gullala]

These were 15 , last year they added 5 more. The countries include Bangladesh ,Somalia , phalistine etc, like underdeveloped countries .

 

[Salmansajid]

alright thank you!

[Salmansajid]

i have no idea
what happened to your seat in ptap

[suwaibah1526]

Hi, does anyone know why they ended foreign seats?

 

[Salmansajid]

no idea
they still have PTAP which is for dual nationals

 

[ASyedCT92]

Yes alhumdullilah I made it Salman.

 

[suwaibah1526]

Unfortunately, I didn't make it on the list

 

[ASyedCT92]

That's alright, have you applied anywhere else?

 

[suwaibah1526]

I applied for CMH, Shifa and other schools on the the NUMS website but since there are no foreign seats, I'm very behind on the list

 

[Salmansajid]

I couldn't make it as well I am on waiting list position 21
the guy above me who made it to the list had 86.14% and my merit is 86.11%
just because of a difference of 0.03% I couldn't make it

 

[ASyedCT92]

There will probably be an updated list later ,maybe u make it inshallah

 

[Salmansajid]

Inshallah

 

[suwaibah1526]
