group and Part-II science group were caught red-handed while cheating in the
papers by the more than 50 vigilance committees, formed by of the Board of

grievances said that some political workers kept helping their
kith and kin in using unfair means at NJV School and some other exam centers of
North Karachi town, Lyari town, Shah Faisal town, Korangi town, Landhi town and
Jamshed town to assist.
Around 500 students, who could not appear in the
paper of English (SSC Part-II General Group) due to none availability of admit
cards, however, appeared on Wednesday to take the exam they missed, according to
BSEK Assistant controller Examination Bizzaatullah Khan.

registered in the private group. For class-IX exams, 5,000 boys and 4,000 girls
have been enrolled. "To control over the unfair means activities in the
examination, the BSEK has formed nearly 160 vigilance teams to inspect the
examination centers in the City.

Karachi (CDGK) has also setup vigilance teams at town levels to hold the exam
transparent.
The papers of class X will be conducted in the morning session,
while the papers of the class IX will be taken in the afternoon from 2pm to 5pm,

Poor visibility during exams 'shocks' minister
Peshawar: In 'poor visibility,' students of higher secondary
education took exams on Wednesday as power outages at the examination centres
caused blackouts and angered NWFP Education Minister Mian Iftikhar
Hussain.
According to a handout, numerous students at the examination
centres complained to the minister that they were taking exams in "poor
visibility because of electricity load shedding."
The complaints were
registered during the minister's unannounced visits to these centres, said an
official communiqué.
The education minister took serious note of the
load shedding on this occasion carried out by the Peshawar Electricity Supply
Company (PESCO) during the examination hours, it added.
He said that
students were taking their exams in the dark halls where visibility was very
poor, adding that this was quite shocking.
The minister appealed to PESCO
officials to avoid load shedding throughout the province during exam hours at
all the examination centres. He also directed the Education Department to relax
rules and regulations to provide one generator to each high school in the
province, to facilitate alternate lighting for students, to save their valuable
educational year. Daily Times
