MIRPUR:
Classes in the newly-established medical colleges in Mirpur and Muzaffarabad will begin from January 1, as planned. The Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Chaudhry Abdul Majeed was told this in a briefing on Wednesday.
He said the colleges should have a fixed quota for students from all over Pakistan, Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata), Gilgit-Baltistan, Indian Kashmir and overseas Kashmiris. The AJK PM said they were committed to promoting education, especially medical education in the state.
He advised the principal to complete everything well before the deadline and to have both the colleges prepared to start classes on the same date. The PM said that the required resources have been already provided to the institutions and promised more funds if needed.
The Prime Minister said that the colleges should be on the same standard as other public and private medical college in Pakistan. He added, “These colleges will cater to the needs of the whole country, and should be converted to medical universities.”
Earlier Principal Dr Muhammad Iqbal said that notifications on the medical colleges were issued in 1984, but it was the present government that finally implemented the decision. Seven labs, an auditorium and lecture halls have been built, in addition to the appointment of 22 senior doctors as professors.
Dr Iqbal said modern learning sources and campus management systems will be introduced in the colleges and that both the colleges are affiliated with Sheikh Zayed Hospital and Abbas Medical Institute.

The last date of application for admission is jan 05, 2012 but surprisingly no seat is alocated for the prov of punjab. The prime minister of AJK refused to offer any seat to the students of Punjab (update 26/12/2011 at 11:30am)
what is the criteria to apply 4 nomination board.is there any application form specified 4 mirpur and muzafrabad colg.
@mahmood .... I don't know final decision but i went to the muzafarabad clg nd they told me that on 15 dec.

@sana : yup thts true about 150 seats are reserved for AJK citizens and rest of the provinces will get 2-3 seats and some students will be allowed in on self-finance

Please tell me if any one knows about the seats arranged for each district of Punjab for Medical by AJK Goverment
@AQEEL: Bcoz they will select the candidates who had given Punjab Entry test.On the basis of this they will make merit for both Pakistani as well as AK students........
@AQEEL: Aqeel have u given the Punjab entry test????
@Mahwish: Yeah u r right
But the question rising here is that 30 or 40 seats of self finance are for Pakistan as well as for AK student's OR for both of them?
AOA any body please tell me the procedure,emphasized text that how can i apply? GOD BLESS YOU.
@Raja waqas khizar: No,120 seats
@anonymous:
Yeah, I have also listened that they will make the merit on the basis of student's Punjab entry test.May be some students missed that opportunity of this.But it is unfair,they should give opportunity to whose who could not take part in Punjab Entry test . . . . .
Hi, i heard about qouta system in AJK Medical college Muzaffarabad.Kindly tell me the total no. of seats arranged for each city of Punjab in Pakistan.And what is the fee structure of self finance????? And also that classes are going to start from 15 Jan.Is that true??????
In both clgs of ak,total seats r 152 on merit bases for ak stdnts n there wil b qouta systm.rajput
100 seats frm mzd and 100 frm mirpur but its not necessary that all the 200 had given the mcat in punjab ,there will hardly b 50 students who have qualified so what about the remaining 150 seats?
nobody knows about the fee structure yet
i was hopeful to get admission here. Now the question is what for those who have not apply for nomination and plz tell me the fee stucture for self finance per annum... it will be a great favour for me.
Aoa...tell me that there'll be reserved seats for every district or open merit...also tell
salamz, i m ajk refugee 1947 and i have 988 marks in f.sc. and my aggregate was not good enough to get admission either on open merit or reserved seats, thats why i didnt apply for nomination. plz tell me what should i do.
not sure yet but it'll be announced soon
Is there any particular qouta for ministers of ajk? And why the entry test will not b taken there should b an opportunity for new candidates. What would b the fee criteria on self finance?
there is no entry test the candidates will be chosen by the nomination board of AJK and the college will start in the month of January but not necessarily on the first
i have the same problems like the ones u have. i think we are hoping for something impossible. it is not going to open....
