Lahore, Lots of students and their parents are on doubt about the UHS entrance test results 2011 for admissions to medical and dental colleges’ in Punjab.

UHS has not displayed all four keys to determine the result by the candidates on their own. UHS authorities had uploaded on its website a single answer key of 0 code out of four answer keys (i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3), which had created a lot of doubts in the minds of the students and their parents about the transparency in the result of entrance test. They supposed that the university administration was favoring certain influential candidates by displaying only a single key on the Internet. The students and parents demanded to upload all four answer keys or display attempted papers of the students on the Internet to determine the result by the candidates themselves and they also held a protest against the UHS administration over the issue.

According to them, UHS authorities had prepared the entrance test results on Optical Mark Reader (OMR) machine by keeping it on Auto mode in order to declare the result within a minimum required time after the holding of the test. They claimed that some of the university employees had told them that OMR machine gave correct result only on Manual mode and shows errors on Auto mode, but this Manual mode exercise required much longer time than the required time of declaration of the result of entrance test.

Students appealed that they had attempted all the questions correctly but the results shown on internet are opposite. These candidates are those, who had achieved above 90% marks in FSc pre medical examination.  Parents are also shocked that candidates with 1,000 plus marks turned out to be failed in entry test.

How can a student fail with 16 wrong answers in Biology paper when he or she had achieved over 95 percent result during his/her four-year academic career in Matriculation and Intermediate examinations, said Mrs Zahida Iftikhar, mother of a female candidate in the examination.
