KARACHI: After discovering irregularities in the results of examinations conducted by the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK), college principals, following parents’ lead, have requested rechecking of exam papers.
The reaction came after the Sindh caretaker government okayed grace marks for the students as a three-member investigative committee, tasked with scrutinizing anomalies in the results exposed extensive irregularities.
College principals rejected the decision of grace marks to the students and demanded rechecking so that justice could be done in the matter.
The committee appointed by the Sindh caretaker Chief Minister found in its report that the scores for English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics had been altered. Eight officers from the Karachi intermediate board were identified as responsible for this issue.
The former chairmen, Dr. Saeedudin and Naseem Memon, along with others, were blamed for changing the results of Karachi intermediate exams. The Sindh government wrote a letter to the anti-corruption department asking them to file cases against those responsible.
