Shifa College of Medicine
Sector H-8/4 - Islamabad - Pakistan
International
Applicants
International applicants, desirous of coming to Shifa, are advised to
initiate the process several months in advance.
This will allow them time to understand the eligibility requirements in Pakistan and to complete those well before the last date of admission.
The academic requirements for admission are prescribed by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council which must be complied with. That stipulates a combination of biology, chemistry and physics at the Higher Secondary Certification (HSC). The international applicants must ensure that they have this combination before contacting the Shifa Admission Office. There is no flexibility on this issue.
The next challenge is procurement of a Certificate from a government office of the Ministry of Education called The Inter Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC). This office attempts to translate foreign qualifications into Pakistani equivalents. It has its own requirements to be met and it can take time. The Shifa College of Medicine has no connections with that office and is, therefore, unable to provide any information or assistance in that connection. It is the applicants’ responsibility to obtain the Equivalence Certificate before an offer of admission could be formalized. International applicants are advised to visit the website of IBCC at www.ibcc.edu.pk and establish contact with it on the following address to seek information and guidance:
