KPK EDUCATIONAL TESTING AND EVALUATION AGENCY

Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency of the NWFP (ETEA) is an independent and autonomous educational entity established by the Government of NWFP for the development of resources and systems for the conduct of educational evaluation and testing for the educational institutions in a transparent, uninfluenced and academically sound manner.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF ETEA

The Agency is responsible for the educational evaluation of educational institutions in general, and for admission to the professional institutions providing Medical and Engineering education in particular. ETEA is striving to achieve the testing and evaluation objectives in a manner that may inculcate the spirit of inquiry, application and research among students, during study at colleges and schools.

ENTRANCE TESTS

Entrance Tests have been in practice in our country for many years in selection of candidates for entry to several professions e.g. Armed Forces and Civil Services. These tests are being conducted by most of the private institutions and universities in Pakistan such as AKU, GIK Institute, NUST, LUMS etc. and in all professional and Cadet Colleges under the control of Ministry of Defence.

Entrance Test devolves on the students the responsibility to concentrate on the acquisition of ability and skill rather than resorting to parrot like memorizing. Thorough understanding of the conceptual parts of the contents of the core subjects is the key to success in the test. Full concentration would guarantee speed and accuracy in doing the MCQs.

ETEA has been conducting Entrance Tests for admission to the NWFP University of Engineering and Technology and to the Medical and Dental Colleges of NWFP since 1998. It has also been conducting Entrance Tests for admission to the Undergraduate and Graduate Programmes of IMS, Hayatabad. Tests for selection of Lecturers, IT Teachers and for admission to Quality Education Institutions have also been conducted by ETEA.

Entrance Tests for admission to Engineering and Medical Colleges are held every year. As the candidates are provided with a computer-readable answer-sheet and they have to fill the answers on that sheet only, therefore, some guide lines regarding the question paper, distribution of marks and filling of Answer Sheet are given for their guidance.

HOW TO MARK (or FILL) THE ANSWER SHEET

Pink Answer Sheet is meant to be scanned or scored by an Optical Mark Reader (OMR). Answer sheet, after being marked with black or blue ballpoint pen or a black thin-tipped marker is allowed to pass through the OMR just like a sheet of paper passes through a laser printer. The OMR detects the marks on the Pink Answer Sheet and compares them with the correct answers. By a comparison of the two, the OMR is in a position to tell how many “right” and “wrong” answers have been marked on the Answer Sheet. As the space for marking answers is very precisely laid out on the answer sheet, it is essential that marks are very carefully made in the designated spaces which should not spill over. The correct way of marking an answer is given below:

(a) Writing Identification Number (I.D. NUMBER)

The purpose of the Identification Number is to ensure the identity of every candidate through a unique number. ID. Number (Roll Number) are marked for the candidates on the PINK Answer Sheet before hand. The candidates will check that they have got the correct answer sheet and that the ID Number has been marked correctly.

(b) Writing NAME

Names can have one or more parts. Accordingly the space reserved for the name shows three parts: First, Middle and Last In the Western tradition, the last bit of the name is also called surname or family name, and usually that part of the name holds prominence and importance in all official documents. For this reason, the last name or surname is written first, whereas the first and the middle parts of the name follow that order. As imported software and imported answer sheets are used in the Entrance Tests, familiarity with this protocol is necessary. For example, consider the name Muhammad Naeem Khan Gandapur First Middle Last
