[AsK]emUnited Premed and FSc Guidance and Counselling Initiative: Question 3

Image
[AsK]emUnited Premed/FSc Guidance and Counselling Initiative. Few Words about [AsK]emUnited Premed Counselling Initiative.. KemUnited started a premed section not very long ago. We got an overwhelming response to it, within a short period of time. The KemUnited team felt that there was widespread ignorance about preparation techniques. Most of the students relied on hearsay from their nearest friends and seniors, which may have guided or misguided them depending on the caliber of that person. This is our first step to give one-on-one advice. We also plan on holding live online question & answer session with our fresh Kemcolians. This will be possible once we are done with our professional exams. Aims & Objectives: To provide reliable guidance from the people who have made it to KEMU. This is to break the status quo in which the premed candidates are clueless about who to talk to for their study problems Our panel of experts are fresh students of King Edwar...

KEMU Patiala Block: From Eagle to Peacock by Atia Sadiq         The following is an article published in the daily The Nation. It has been published on KemUnited blog with permission from the writer.          Walking through the colourful bazaar of Anarkali, I was searching for Nelagumbad, which is surrounded by commercial streets. When I reached near the west gate of Patiala Block of King Edward Medical University (KEMU), I was grasped by its beauty; grace and grandeur. I was so pulled toward it that for some moments I forgot the original purpose of my visit. It was only after around five years that I got a chance to visit this fascinating building, examine it and write on it.
