Intermediate exams begin in Karachi, KE to ensure load shedding-free exams

KARACHI: The Intermediate examinations (grade 11 and 12) begin today in Karachi. The Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK), has said that 182 exam centers set up for morning and evening shifts, will facilitate nearly 130,000 students appearing in these exams.

BIEK Chairman Ghulam Hussain Soho visited Apwa Government College, along with members of the media to review the examination system. Superintendent of Examinations Zarina Rashid was also present at the occasion.

“Examinations are being held in an orderly manner,” Ghulam Hussain Soho said, adding, “I have written a letter to Karachi Electric (KE) regarding load shedding, [so it can be avoided] in the examination centers during the examination hours.”

He also said that the government will take action against the cheating mafia, and that all kinds of cooperation is being provided. “The board administration is active for transparent examinations. If a mobile phone is caught, then there is one plus one punishment. If a child is caught [cheating], their paper will be cancelled for one year,” he added.
