Abstract:
To see how students admitted after entry test in Nishtar Medical College, Multan, perform in first professional MBBS Part-I, we analyzed the results of three successive sessions i.e. N-51, N-52 and N-53. A total number of 437 students` results were analyzed. We grouped the students into top 50 of F.Sc (F.Sc-50), top 50 of Entry Test (ET-50) and top 50 of MBBS Part-I results (MBBS-50). When we analyzed the MBBS-50 group, it was seen that in N-51 (Session 2002-2003), twenty one of MBBS-50 students were from F.Sc-50 group, twenty of MBBS-50 were from ET-50 group. In N-52 (Session 2003-2004), seventeen of MBBS-50 were from F.Sc-50 group. eighteen of MBBS-50 were from ET-50 group. In N-53 (session 2004-2005), twenty eight of MBBS-50 students were from F.Sc-50 group; eleven of MBBS-50 students were from ET-50 group. So in three successive MBBS batches (i.e. N-51, N-52 and N-53 batches), F.Sc-50 group contributed more as compared with the ET-50 group. Less number of students failed from F.Sc-50 group as compared with ET-50 group. F.Sc-50 group also have more high achievers as compared with ET-50 group. F.Sc-50 group showed improvements in its performance over the three years period. We conclude that F.Sc results are reflecting more precisely the students` performance in future as compared with the entry test results.
