Karachi inter exams to begin tomorrow

The Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) has announced that inter-examination in the port city will begin on June 1 i.e. on Saturday.

The chairman of the board Naseem Ahmed Memon made this announcement in a press conference. He outlined several key measures to ensure the smooth and fair conduct of exams across Sindh, with a particular focus on Karachi.

Memon revealed that the examinations would be conducted in two shifts across all divisions of Sindh, with a total of 180 examination centres established in Karachi alone. Over 200,000 candidates are expected to participate in these inter exams.

To maintain order and security, Section 144 will be enforced around examination centres, and a decision has been made to seize mobile phones to prevent cheating.

“Rangers staff will be posted outside sensitive examination centres to ensure security,” Memon stated, emphasizing the importance of a secure and conducive examination environment.

In response to the severe heat wave predicted during the exam period, the chairman said special health measures have been put in place. Medical staff will be present at examination centres, and for the first time, students will be provided with energy medicines to prevent malnutrition. These include painkillers, anti-allergy medications, glucose, vitamin C, and mineral water, all available for free, he added. Additionally,
