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
