HSC Science (Pre-Engineering and Pre-medical) exams & Loadshedding
Students say outages during exams affect performance
Karachi, April 30: Unannounced power outages at many examination
centres badly hampered the performance of candidates taking their
crucial HSC Science (Pre-Engineering and Pre-medical) annual
examinations on Thursday. A number of candidates,
particularly those whose examination centres have been set up in
colleges and higher secondary schools of Nazimabad, Liaquatabad, New
Karachi, Federal B' Area, Gulshan-i-Iqbal and Old City Area said that they had experienced outages of one hour and one-and-a-half
durations during their first paper held on Tuesday and faced similar
outages on Thursday at their examination centres - one of about 40
minutes and another of one-and-a-half hours duration - and they were
finding it very difficult to concentrate on their paper in the hot
weather conditions. "As there was no electricity most of the
time during our Thursday's examinations fans of classrooms remained off
in the current hot and sultry weather and, as such, we could not solve
our papers with full concentration because we were perspiring
profusely," deplored a candidate whose examination centre has been set
up at a Liaquatabad college. Meanwhile, BIEK chairman Prof
Anwar Ahmed Zai visited Govt Nabi Bagh College on Thursday to ensure
peaceful shifting of an examination centre (at Nabi Bagh College) to
two different centres - S. M. Govt Science College and NJV Higher
secondary school. The change was ordered after complaints of external
interference at Nabi Bagh College. Dawn
