Kabul hosts medical final exam and police academy entrance test

KABUL (TOLOnews): The National Examination Authority oversaw the final medical examination and the recruitment test for candidates aspiring to join the Police Academy in Kabul. Abdul Baqi Haqqani, the acting Head of the National Examination Authority, announced that close to 11,000 individuals from various provinces across the country participated in these significant exams.
Haqqani highlighted the enthusiasm of the youth, particularly noting their eagerness to contribute to service to society during the month of Ramadan.
“Our youth are showing great enthusiasm. We have nearly eleven thousand young individuals taking part in the exams, demonstrating their keen interest in serving the people,” he remarked.
The Medical Council said that candidates need to achieve a sixty percent score in the medical exam to qualify for a practice license.
Jendullah Nabil, representing the Medical Council, detailed the exam’s structure: “The exam comprises 160 questions, totaling 360 points, with each question carrying more than two or more points. A score of sixty percent, or 216 points, is required to pass.”
Meanwhile, the Police Academy said that around two thousand students are currently receiving training at the institution.
Naser Khan Sulemanzai, a spokesperson for the academy, explained the distinctive nature of the academy’s recruitment process, which includes practical training, and includes providing students with a stipend, food, and clothing.
“The recruitment process here differs from civil universities, as practical issues are applied during their studies, and they are provided with a stipend, as well as food and clothing facilities at the academy,” Sulemanzai noted.
Participants in both exams expressed hopes that the Islamic Emirate would enhance work and educational opportunities for the nation’s youth, thereby reducing the inclination to seek opportunities abroad.
“We urge the Islamic Emirate to generate more employment and educational avenues for Afghan youth domestically, to discourage them from leaving the country,” one participant stated.
Another participant, Khairullah, called for a revival of the transparency and meritocracy that characterized past exams.
“The exams should recognize individual talent, creativity, and abilities, ensuring fairness and justice in the evaluation process,” he suggested.
Of the nearly eleven thousand exam participants, more than six thousand registered for the Police Academy, while the remaining four thousand were signed up for the final medical exam.
The National Examination Authority has committed to maintaining transparency throughout the examination process, ensuring that the outcomes are free from undue interference.
