Can I comment with advice if I never post a link?
Yes, as a genuine comment that helps a student, but keep it free of links, product names, and signups or “No Promotion or Spam” applies.

Rule summary
- Be Respectful: Treat everyone with respect — no personal attacks, hate speech, or rude behavior. Healthy debate is welcome, toxicity isn’t.
- No Promotion or Spam: Posts or comments promoting YouTube channels, coaching centers, Telegram groups, or any product/service will be removed. Contact the mods if you want to collaborate officially.
- Keep It Relevant: Only post content related to Pakistani medical education, Off-topic posts may be removed.
- No Misinformation: Do not spread false or misleading medical or admission-related information. Always cite credible sources when possible.
- Maintain Privacy & Ethics: Do not share patients’ private information, hospital data, or exam material that violates institutional or ethical rules.
- Be Helpful to Juniors: This is a learning space — guide others, answer sincerely, and build a positive med community in Pakistan.
- Follow Reddit’s Sitewide Rules: Reddit-wide policies on harassment, NSFW content, and spam still apply here.
Works well
- A sincere answer to a junior asking how to study for a difficult MBBS subject, written as plain advice with no links
- A first-hand experience post about surviving a stage of medical school in Pakistan, staying strictly on topic
- A sourced explainer on an admission or exam topic, with credible citations included
- A study method walkthrough a student can use today, with zero mention of any product or channel
- A direct message to the mods proposing an official collaboration before anything is posted publicly
Avoid
- Posting any link to a YouTube channel, coaching center, Telegram group, or product page, since “No Promotion or Spam” gets it removed
- Dropping your tool link in a comment while pretending to be a fellow student
- Sharing medical or admission claims without sources, which trips “No Misinformation”
- Posting about non-Pakistani education topics, which trips “Keep It Relevant”
- Mentioning patient details, hospital records, or restricted exam material, which breaks “Maintain Privacy & Ethics”
- Skipping the moderators and launching a promotion anyway instead of asking about official collaboration
What r/Pakmedschool Is For
r/Pakmedschool is a home for medical students across Pakistan. People come here to talk about the MBBS journey, prepare for exams, share study resources, swap experiences, and ask for advice about college life and career paths. The community describes itself as a place to connect students from different medical colleges and build a collaborative network. The rules also make it a learning space, where guiding juniors and answering sincerely is expected of everyone.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides almost everything here is “No Promotion or Spam”. It removes posts or comments promoting YouTube channels, coaching centers, Telegram groups, or any product or service, and it tells you the only path in: contact the mods to collaborate officially. “Keep It Relevant” narrows the room to Pakistani medical education only, so off-topic posts may be removed even if they are harmless. “No Misinformation” matters if your post touches admissions, exams, or health claims, because you must cite credible sources when possible. “Maintain Privacy & Ethics” bans sharing patient details, hospital data, or exam material that violates institutional or ethical rules, which is easy to trip in a med school space. Finally “Be Respectful” and “Be Helpful to Juniors” set the tone: sincere, kind answers earn you a place here.
What To Post
Think helper first, marketer never, at least not visibly. A good post answers a real question from a Pakistani medical student: how to prepare for a specific exam stage, how to study a hard subject, what a career path looks like, or how to survive MBBS. Keep everything inside Pakistani medical education, cite credible sources when you state a fact, and never mention patients, hospitals, or restricted exam material. If you have something you genuinely want to share with the community as an organization, the rules say to contact the mods about official collaboration rather than posting it yourself.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed is any form of promotion: a link to your channel, your coaching service, your Telegram group, or your product. Off-topic posts outside Pakistani medical education get removed too. Spreading unverified medical or admission information is out, and so is sharing anything private, whether that is patient information, hospital data, or restricted exam material. Rude or toxic behavior breaks “Be Respectful”, and sitewide Reddit rules on harassment, NSFW content, and spam apply on top of everything here.

Common questions about r/Pakmedschool
Can I ask the moderators to promote my study app?
The rules point promotion and collaborations to the moderators, so message them first and wait for an answer.
Is this a good place to pitch a general student productivity tool?
No. The description and rules are about Pakistani medical students, and “Keep It Relevant” lets mods remove anything else.
Can I reference real exam papers or patient stories to sound credible?
No. “Maintain Privacy & Ethics” covers exam material that violates institutional or ethical rules, so keep that out of your post entirely.
