All Study Gaps Accepted — No FSc Year Restriction
Unlike Pakistani public sector medical colleges which penalize gaps, SEU accepts students regardless of how many years have passed since FSc. Whether you completed FSc 1 year ago or 5 years ago, you can still apply to SEU without any disadvantage. This makes SEU an ideal option for students who faced repeated PMC MDCAT attempts or waited for other reasons.
