BPMCA leaders at press conference

Leaders of Bangladesh Private Medical Colleges Association (BPMCA) demanded to reset the minimum pass marks in medical admission test at 20 from the existing 40.

The BPMCA leaders came up with the demand at a press conference at Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) on December 07, 2014.

The BPMCA leaders said, "Almost 35 percent seats remained vacant in both private medical and dental colleges after the minimum pass marks were set at 40".

If it is not changed, 60 percent seats will remain vacant in 2014-2015 session, which may force many owners to shut down their medical and dental colleges, they added.
