It administers a written multiple choice question exam simultaneously throughout the country. Candidates are admitted based primarily on their score on this test, although grades at Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC) level also play a part.[8] As of September 2015, the college is allowed to admit 110 students annually.[1] Foreign students have to score high in GRE to get this college for post graduation (MD/MS).

Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal (AKMMCJ) is the official journal of the college.[9] It is an English-language, peer-reviewed, open access journal, published semi-annually in January and July. It accepts original research articles, review articles on topics of current interest, interesting case reports, and short communications on small topics. Submissions should not have been published previously, and should not be submitted to multiple publications concurrently.[10]

gollark: Not really? There are some good non-russell-group ones by some metrics. Like Lancaster and whatever.
