OPEN DAY 2K15

For most of the pre-medical students, the word “KING EDWARD MEDICAL UNIVERSITY” is a dream, distant and hazy, opaque and smoggy. Only a select few are able to enter its premises as students and experience first- hand the grandeur that K.E has to offer. But on 24th of March, continuing the very tradition, IFMSA KEMU LC, under the worthy and proficient presidency of ARFA AHMAD, arranged the OPEN DAY, for prospective students, giving them an exclusive glimpse into the wonders and marvels,  the world KEMU holds in it, thus adding fuel to their desire to attain admission in this prestigious and celebrated institution and imparting indispensable knowledge to them on how to ace their exams to achieve their goal of getting into this historical phenomenon, THE KEMU .
