The exam for the MBBS medicine course was cancelled last week, immediately after students complained about out-of-syllabus questions. Following this, all BDS exams, scheduled from October 26 to November 5, were also cancelled. "After complaints of the MBBS exams being out of syllabus, we didn't want to take any risk with the BDS exams," he said, explaining why all BDS papers had been cancelled. According to the sources, the KU does not intend to hold MBBS and BDS examinations in the near future. The only medical college affiliated with the KU in Karachi is KMDC, while the affiliation of all private colleges was transferred to Jinnah Sindh Medical University during the tenure of former KU vice-chancellor Dr Muhammad Qaiser.
